PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google

I don't think they're including Kodi with Google maps, I think they're just continuing with the list.
yeah. poorly worded.

bro, open your mind for a minute. Privacy is for everyone. And we need masses wanting privacy otherwise nothing changes.
-bro, but yeah, good point.

Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.
I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.
There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

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.
So is he a nazi or not?

My own domain?!? Any suggestions??

They have. Nebula is biggest im aware of, floatplane is another.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Sauce plus and dropout as well. Basically run by youtubers to make content without relying on YouTube. A lot of this is running on pre-existing tech for running a streaming service and I assume it's dependent on AWS (Amazon) hosting but yeah lots of smaller paid streaming services run by youtubers because YouTube sucks. I believe sauce plus is essentially the same as Floatplane on the backend, they mentioned working with LTT to make it.

? I want the answer. I am not sure if you are saying he is a nazi or he is not.

Grow up. he did.
Might wanna take your own advice. For example, instead of making a drive by shit post, you could have done what another commenter did and actually explain why people are on board with this guy. That person's comment had me reconsider my position. Your comment just makes you look like an ass.

He got backlash from his own fans from all edgy and toxic jokes.
I remember some of his Indian fans are angry for his PewDiePie vs T-series stuff (T-series: Indian music company).I think around 2019, he apologized and recognized all the edginess he did, and promised to do better.
For the last five years, all of his content are basically wholesome family stuff or creative activities. Even his recent art journey video are widely shared among young art communities that's not even his fans.
I wasn't aware of that, so thanks for the additional context!
-
He also paid some Africans to hold an anti-semitic sign. To prove people will do things for money I think?
The entire thesis of that video was "fiver and things like that lead to exploitation of the global poor", the sign thing was just a catchy clickbait thing.

Wait till you find out you can use your brain
No you see, if you can't do something absolutely perfect then why do it at all?

How about LBRY? Do you think it's a sane alternative to YT? I also think peertube is the true freedom, though, I was surprised how quick videos load on odysee
LBRY is cool but I'm honestly sketched out by the creators that currently exist there. It's mostly weird libertarians and crypto bros plus random porn bots. Also between the first and most recent times I played with it they added a CDN that hosts all of the files and something like 99% of the data I downloaded while farting around on there came from that single official CDN, so very decentralized.
Peertube has actual large creators who aren't weird conservative podcasters, and tons of different servers already which serve content, and great Mastadon integration which puts it in a much better spot for growth moving forwards than LBRY. You can literally watch peertube videos from Mastadon (Which has millions of active users including some celebrities and government officials) and comment on them from Mastadon, so there's kinda already a userbase measured in millions depending on how you classify cross-fediverse users

So is he a nazi or not?
In short, a bunch of years ago he did some stunts for publicity that put him in a bad light. And don't get me wrong, he deserved criticism back then. But it quickly became apparent that it wasn't his view, but just that - a publicity stunt, something to drive algorithms etc, and he also apologised for it and what's more important, didn't make similiar shit afterwards.
So no, not a nazi. In the past you could call him edgy or something, alas even that doesn't really fit as he didn't do this all the time. But people saw he is popular and saw what he did and decided that no matter that these were one-offs, he must be a nazi, secretely harbor a shrinet o Hitler and all that.

I think he actually used something else than proton, he didn’t mention though. Except that he uses his own domain name.
I drive believe he has started hosting his own email though

I’m sceptical of his steamdeck hosting solution
hope he has backup for his files too -
How can he be done with Google and still posting YouTube videos?
Literally his income source

wrote last edited by [email protected]I seriously doubt that anyone who asks that question doesn't already have a foregone conclusion, but fine, I'll indulge you.
Probably not. If he was, and had been hiding it his entire life, even in the era when he was the youtube star and had zero restraint, why would he slip up those few times, and especially such highly public ways?
He did and said some shit in his early 20s, and he deserved the criticism at the time, but those incidents weren't repeated and weren't part of a pattern. He wasn't the paragon of virtue and maturity, but I'm willing to bet my left nut that neither are the people who are lining up to crucify him, and the only difference is that he had an audience. The people who aren't willing to let go of their prejudices after a decade are equally as immature.
