That's what I said about my IP. Now I can't watch YouTube. I mostly just use PeerTube

[–] weirdo_from_space@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (8 children)

What do you even do there? I can almost never find anything to watch on PeerTube.

Yeah it doesn't have much content atm.

So how about we populate it?

Record videos about your interests. Install kdenlive and edit your videos. Post them to PeerTube.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 8 points 1 day ago

Oh, me? I do more posting than viewing, honestly. If we all do the same, it solves this concern

[–] cyberwitch@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

Gravitytube is starting to mirror a good handful of youtubers

[–] Uri@infosec.pub 4 points 1 day ago

For me there are actually some people making videos I like. For example thelinuxexperiment, Veronica explain, privacy guides yeah not much though

I alredy quit youtube when commercial crap hit the fan. Never used Zuckerbergs surveillance anyway. Very happy to spend more time on my real life

i watch it, but it has to be adblock, otherwise it becomes intolerable.

I will use free tube as long as it functions. Wish my creators would go somewhere else.

Gonna be fun if they ask me to verify my age. My account is old enough to drink.

Quitting Reddit was hard in several ways.

Quitting D&D (because of WotC being assholes) sucked because I was an Eberron/Keith Baker fan and have a lot of money sunk into D&D.

But I don't know if I could quit YouTube. If that happened, I'd try to find ways to hack my way around it. I might ask my favorite creators to migrate to other platforms. But if I had no options to get their content but to give YouTube my ID, I might honestly have to do it.

I'd give YouTube an ID, but never my ID. They probably just have AI checking them to see if they look real enough. As long as it's a convincing enough photoshop, it'd probably pass the litmus test.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I thought the days of needing a fake ID were decades behind me
