Source? I don't believe it.

Why else would the US be working so hard to ban it and make it very difficult to obtain?

My next car is going to be a GDLS M1 Abrams main battle tank. It's the only true option for car lovers.

I already use Tubular, and I have been using NewPipe (or the fork Tubular) since the very first alpha.

Grayjay doesn't work well for me since I'm subscribed to over 1000 creators and they force rate limiting over 200, which makes it completely unusable for my usecase.

It might starve the algorithm, but I still get good recommendations on Tubular for the most part, and I haven't used a YT account ever since the first NewPipe alpha released.

I'm hoping storage will become cheap enough that something like PeerTube will be able to grow as much as Lemmy and Mastodon have over the past few years.

The recommendation algorithm (also using a third party app) recommends me tons of niche content. It's how I found most of the creators that I follow.

I follow over 1000 creators on YouTube, many of them niche creators who don't often upload content. There are a very small percentage who are on another platform.

The main app that I use (Tubular) also supports PeerTube, but PeerTube has a big issue when it comes to both content discovery and delivery. YouTube hosts not only the "full" quality video, but they also host many different versions of the same video at varying resolutions/bitrates. This is unfeasable for basically anyone but a big tech company. YouTube also has a very effective (albeit very flawed) recommendation algorithm that smaller platforms struggle to compete against.

I already use those things. My main way of watching YT is with Tubular.

The problem is that there is one, centralized hosting provider with an all-powerful, non-customizable (by the user) recommendation algorithm. That algorithm, like it or not, dictates the type of content that is made on the platform. If there is content that Google doesn't like, they can (and have) very easilly shadowban the content, meaning only people who specifically search for it will see it, if not remove it altogether.

My one holdover is YouTube. There's just no good replacement for it.

Then every card is a trump card

You don't need double the wires if you change the recepticle so that you can plug it in both ways, and the recepticle would just have those wires connected on the board.

I didn't read the article, so I'm going to conclude based on the headline that JD Vance eats cats.

I think "fucking democracy" is their end goal here.
