    No one here considers that we might not need a “competitor” for YouTube at all. Videos have been a disaster for the web. Information that can easily be relayed and digested in a 1000-word article is instead stretched into a 30-40 minute video with ad breaks. The less aid about TikTok, Instagram, and other bullshit video platforms the best. We don’t need this shit. We need to go back to Web 1.0. Web as a means to share information and talk to people. There’s no room for ShitTube there.

      I quit YouTube (you can delete your YouTube data without deleting the Google account btw) and I feel better. I couldn’t find anything interesting there for the love of me. I intend to binge cozy Minecraft letsplays on Odysee once I have Internet again. I really hate videos as a format. They have use, but they’re by far overused. I strongly encourage everyone to reject what companies want us to use, look inside and reflect on what you need and what brings you happiness, then abandon corporate, delete your data and thrive.
