Google can verify I'm a human by not using Google.
I would love to not have YT in every corner of the internet though. I wonder how developers of Youtube forks will deal with this?
You need another YouTube. Free for anyone to post, the same volume, the same storage. Nebula is elite and paid. You and I can’t post on it. The others I’ve seen contain a handful of conspiracy theorists and Linux people.
Conspiracy theorists and Linux people? You sonofabitch I’m in
Yeah, but there only a handful of each.
The amount of storage and bandwidth Youtube needs is something no competitor could ever hope to match.
