--- Quote from: Johnimiester on August 01, 2017, 09:19:11 PM ---I've seen leftist YouTubers clearly affected by /pol/ false-flagging campaigns, one channel having its videos removed in entirety because of the way that Google manages YouTube, either because of biased moderators or a kind of lackadaisical attitude on the part of YouTube, probably making the choice to play it safe and just go along with it anyway without even making the attempt to review the content. This sort of thing doesn't just simply apply to conservative vloggers. This, of course, stems from a general attitude that YouTube has had over the years, making choices that piss off either the user base, content creators, or both out of a desire probably to save themselves from something that could potentially bite them in the ass later, which of course corresponds with a hostile culture between YouTube and the end user in which the former tends not to be open about the way that their policies are carried out at all. --- End quote --- Well yeah, the problem goes far beyond party lines and any kind of ideology. While google is left leaning, the potential for censorship of both sides is there. Youtube needs to get it's stuff together, or we need a new video sharing platform to support. |

unfortunately i think google is the internet definition of too big to fail. they just have too much data and usage on youtube for anyone to start a serious migration to another service - if done too quickly the other service will fail due to not having the resources of google (servers, money, lawyers, etc) |

Minds is the biggest shot at an alternative to YouTube right now IMO, the problem is like Conan said, the transition needs to be slow and steady in order to not forget up EDIT: scratch that, it's more of a substitute for Facebook and Twitter but it does have potential to be a good video-distributing platform |
