If they appear on my homepage, i'll make sure to hit "don't recommend."

The better option is to simply stop using YouTube.

I swear that feature doesn’t work. I’ve told it to stop recommending TheQuartering to me so many times and he always pops back up.

[-] LuckingFurker 7 points 1 week ago

Yeah, keep contributing to their algorithm, that'll really show them! "Stop using YouTube" is the only way to do anything about it, and people won't

[-] tonytins@pawb.social 5 points 1 week ago

I get it. But that's easier said than done when all my favourite channel are there. All I can do for now is keep them off my homepage by making them unfavourable to the algorithm.

At this point, the ethical thing to do is to reupload videos you like to Peertube. Sure it screws the creators, but that's what they get for continuing to post on a fascist platform.

[-] original_reader@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

I get the sentiment. How should creators monetise on PeerTube, though? There are no ads, onboarding is a hassle, PeerTube itself pays nothing for content. Also, running a PeerTube instance is likely going to get expensive fast.

How should creators monetise on PeerTube?

Patreon and merchant and whatnot, same as they do on YouTube already. It's not as if the pittance Google pays is the majority of their income.

(Also, my comment was about random users uploading videos without the creators' consent, so that's really a different discussion.)

Also, running a PeerTube instance is likely going to get expensive fast.

It's built on bittorrent, you know. The more popular a video gets, the less you have to serve it yourself.

If everyone stopped using it they'd be forced to act, unfortunately too many people think exactly the same way, "but the stuff I like is there too!"

[-] tonytins@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah. It's a chicken or the egg situation. I hate it, too.

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Boycotts are a bucket of water that you use to put out smouldering problems. Use your hose and buckets on the fire before it gets out of control.

But when the problem is growing and it's an inferno then you call 911. In other words: government oversight is the answer.

i dont login , so they cant datamine, and also im adblocking them at the same time. youtube cant go full-anti-adblock, so they are allowing degenerates and degenerate form of revenues to return.
