          He let his fame get to his head, failed to ensure due diligence on research was done prior to posting his videos, and failed to refrain from frat bro bullshit that ended with an employee quitting and posting about it publically.

          No sexual assault, racist tirade, or anything, just a run of the mill asshole with more fame and money than sense.

    I though peertube was more appropriate, can start servers local (Canada) but still federated

    Linus is that you?

    What if we want more than your stuff?

    I have a pihole with the ability to block youtube ads fairly well, once my premium subscription is up, in November (I got it because I believed I was actually paying the content creators better with it), I am going to be blocking youtube ads.

      Just so no one else gets confused here.

      A pi-hole can not block YouTube ads. You need ublock(origin) extension or SmartTube for Android to block YouTube ads.

    How is this a replacement for YouTube? As shitty as YT is, it’s still free. With Floatplane You have to pay to watch anything, and you pay to each producer, depending on what you watch? I’d rather just look through Vimeo or something, because this definitely ain’t it. A replacement needs to be as easy and as free as Youtube, otherwise it’s just another streaming platform.

    If I need an account to see my first video, you are not an alternative to YT. As ling as my VPN and adblocker works, I feel fine using YT until somethikg better comes along.
