    Because YouTube has a monopoly for the most part

    Sure, but other platforms do exist, and he could post to those as well as YouTube. Other creators do, such as Gardiner Bryant to PeerTube and Louis Rossmann to Odyssee.

      If he really hated Google, wouldn't he be motivated to invest his time into its competitors? Maybe he does, idk, I didn't watch the video because I'm not a fan of his style and I generally try to avoid YouTube.

        Throwing it out there - I am tired of left always acting as if something done decade ago was still fresh. Pewds changed, he flipped his whole video formula, and even back then evil things he did were at least questionable. Let it go folks. You are doing nothing else than making yourself look like bitter old people.

        Edit: I noticed it's not obvious what I am talking about. Other comments. People constantly talking about how Pewds is a nazi.

        Honestly, the only drama I've ever read about him was the n-word on the bridge situation. Now before I migrated to Lemmy I had a decade and half old account on Reddit that got n-word count botted, and even through all the heated debates & drunken shit posting, I never once dropped so much as the -a ending. But I grew up in an area of lower socioeconomic development, and I was the rare super pasty white boy who used it growing up because that was the common vernacular I heard every day. And I was only ever once confronted about it from someone I didn't know. But as I started to grow, mature, and expand my social circle I learned how cringey it was (and I still look back on myself in a sense of embarrassment and disgust to this day). I'm just happy that this was early Myspace days, and there are no videos of it floating around.

        Now I want to make it perfectly clear, I was not an Xbox live chat edgy shit head. This was the language I heard all around me growing up, so it was an honest adoption.

        With that Ted talk out the way. I have only ever seen the bridge video of his, and a late night talk show (Colbert?) interview with him. That is it so I have absolutely no horse in the race. But I do understand how people can grow and change, and it sounds like from what everyone else is saying about him, that he has for the better.

          Didn't he stream a dead body in a Japanese suicide forest shortly after moving to Japan?

          That was Logan Paul, and actually the Paul brothers' antics actually greatly delayed Pewd's immigration as the Japanese government actually stopped granting new visas to any social media personalitiws for some time after the Paul incidents.

          If I remember correctly he wasn't able to immigrate until mid-2020 thanks to the Paul Borthers' lack of respect for anyone

            This isn't a random youtuber and his video isn't clickbait. You not understanding why people are talking about him posting this video is not the same as these discussions being pointless or spam.

                Oh shit is that what the issue was??? Thank you for explaining! I thought it was literally blacklisted like that. I told those worthless dumbfucks to whitelist my domain and that shit just kept happening—and they made me do all the work every time. It was exhausting and frustrating. I’ll look into runbox, thanks again.

                I wonder if there might be some super common spam tlds like .xyz or .ru or something, but generally, yeah, custom domain isn’t the issue. Some other options are Migadu, mailbox.org, mxroute, and Tuta all seem like decent companies. A lot of others “also do” email hosting, like porkbun and OVH. Plenty of companies host their email with all these companies and have mostly clear sailing without being spam binned.

                  "calls another YouTube channel bitch lasagna"
                  that was years ago right?
                  These days he seems more calm and almost no toxicity whatsoever other than rarely saying shit, fuck, or generic swear word.

                  Agreed, he is doing a lot better now.

                    Porkbun + runbox here. Domain and email together cost less than $30 a year. You can use the domain for free with GitHub pages or cloudflare for a free website too.

                    I personally picked Mailfence, but I saw both runbox and mailfence are really good. Tho Mailfence is a bit more expensive

                      I always thought it was a federated kind of platform. Not really p2p. Why do you need an instance if its p2p?

                      It's p2p between the watchers, but files are hosted on a server (an instance of Peertube). With just one person watching a video there's no p2p, only server-client.

                        He's one of the biggest and most loved youtube personalities. He has influence, and him saying this kind of stuff is a big deal. Pretending he's a nobody shows that you're simply ignorant.

                        Ignorant is everyone like you, worshipping these useless "celebrities", my dear clown. Now, you can go back licking YouTubers' ass and proudly let everyone know.

                          Can we stop with the narrative that corporations and celebrities are doing good? This guy is 110 Million people away from doing something for privacy and linux, once he makes 110 million and one person switch to linux or using a youtube alternative he will have done some work in the positive.

                          I mean... glass half full or half empty... You can appreciate how enthusiastic he was about it and how many people saw the video, or you can just complain...
                          Btw. if he should do more, it will be the positive feedback he gets about it, not the negative one which is just demotivating...

                            for your generation maybe?

                            You're right, i can't understand how someone can make a name by streaming himself playing games and then become a reliable source for browser comparisons or linux. I can't understand why anybody would like to watch someone else playing a "video game" either, but there is a whole generation that grew up with that. I have streamer neighbors. It's not only that i can't understand, but i think of these activities as pathetic.

                            let's end this useless conversation here. You can keep talking about him all your life, i prefer to filter him.

                            There was an interesting podcast about mr.Beast on the Guardian this week. I was never interested in his videos either, I remember reading his Wikipedia page some years ago to understand what he's about. For me, they're both negligible symptoms of something going really wrong. Their analysis may be interesting, they on the other hand are not.

                              "I'm incapable of understanding the nuance of someone with a lot of influence speaking out in favor of a topic I advocate for because I'm ignorant and judgemental towards certain activities and people who make a living off of them"

                                    He switched to linux a while back. Now he's trying to switch as much of the rest of his digital life to FOSS/non-profit stuff. He advocates for duckduckgo, firefox, paid email, graphene os, selfhosted vaultwarden, nextcloud, anything but google maps, kodi, etc.

                                      The Proton CEO praised Trump and his control and choices regarding IT and antitrust some months ago. People said it was a "one-off" but then the Proton board backed up the CEO. Writing's been on the wall for a while.

                                        Organic died shortly ago (they'd been enshittifying for a while). We go with CoMaps nowadays.

                                          But not Youtube. Which is Google.

                                          Curious.

                                          I mean...not that curious. It's his entire livelihood at the moment.
