Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

So you're just whining, got it
How’s this whining? YouTube sucks. There doesn’t need to be an alternative for people to leave. Just like Twitter. It’s operated by people that demonstrably don’t care about content creators and in fact- have provenly screwed them over time and again as evidenced in the countless tech articles about them shared here and elsewhere….
But by all means, don’t let me get in the way of a collective Stockholm syndrome
Stockholm syndrome isnt real my guy, some cops made it up to hand wave why captives called them out for risking their lives more than the kidnappers had.
Kinda like how youre hand waving people clearly telling you that a shit service still fulfills a service, and not having alternative examples to pivot to means people who need the service filled will use shit service over no service.
ROFL!
Read up… “my guy…”

You didnt read your own link, huh
"and in fact it is a "contested illness" due to doubts about the legitimacy of the condition"
Literally in the opening blurb
Contested…. “My dude”, doesn’t mean non existent. It just means someone disagrees with it.
As in-
Your dumb point is contested by me. Does that invalidate it? Do I automatically win now?
Still didnt read the article, where it has an entire section explaining that the contest is between psychologists saying its fake, and media outlets and cops saying its real.
Youre hammering my point home my guy, and hitting every finger you have on the way there
You’re pursuing the wrong point- my guy….
Made up or not, my point remains that people constantly bitch about YouTube, and then cry and complain when someone suggests they leave the platform.
Whether we name or after some contested psychological label, or just call them ignorant children, whining and hating on a thing only to defend it when someone suggest you stop using it if you hate it so much is incredibly stupid.
Not going to argue this any further.
