    They get away with this because people don’t use the alternatives. Odysee and Rumble are actually good alternatives. No, they’re not as good as YouTube, but they’re good enough. We just need creators to also upload to those platforms. Since YouTube keeps banning and demobilising them, this problem might solve itself.

        If your feed is “100% fascist Nazi bullshit” may I suggest you watch less Nazi bullshit, and stop subscribing to them?

          Lmfao. I had literally never heard of Rumble. I opened up a private browser window and pulled it up for the first time ever…the "Featured" was fucking Newsmax TV. Now obviously this isn't indicative of the whole site but damn that does not help your point when that's the featured for a brand new potential user

            I’m not claiming it doesn’t have Newsmax on it. I’m claiming the service is solid. If you subscribe to people you care about (and you can find creators you like) it’s a good platform alternative. I’m the first to argue we need more YouTube creators to cross-post.

                There are Nazis on YouTube, Reddit, and Lemmy. Why are you here? You are not automatically associated with Nazis just because they might use a platform. This is like saying veganism is evil because Hitler was a vegan.

                  Sure, but it doesn’t change the fact that Rumble has a higher percentage of Nazis than YouTube or Odyssey.

                    Which proportion of a platform must be Nazi-free before you will use it? How are you measuring the Nazi percentages of YouTube, Lemmy, Reddit, and Rumble?

                    in sheer numbers, the larger services likely host more nazis. but who gives a fuck about that? the site is run by bad people and they will measure their success in eyeballs, so you can help starve them, and there is no need to talk about how many nazis are there.

      Curious, how does monetization work on those platforms? The bigger "Content creators" typically will be making videos as a job, so to draw them you'd need a halfway decent way to monetize.

        They have ads, but I think YouTube pays better. Which I suppose is why creators stick with YouTube for now.
