YouTube is so irritating. It's one of the few Google-related products I haven't been able to drop -- the other being Android.
I left for VidMe for a while, but had to go back when they shut down. The other competitors, like Bitchute, just aren't where they need to be to act as a replacement. Hopefully in the near future that will change.
Yeah Bitchute kinda sucks. Check out DTube though. It's far more polished and feels more like YouTube. The only problem is there aren't a ton of great channels yet.
Once google has complete control over what your allowed to say and hear, what then? Death and concentration camps? Google is the Jewish version of Stalin.
It will probably remain dominant so long as it remains the most viable site for video makers to make a living off of. Perhaps the ONLY one of note right now, now that I think of it.
If another site becomes really popular, I think they would still have to deal with all the litigation YouTube had to deal with from companies like Viacom. A lot of the copyright claim bullshit we've seen over the years is due to YouTube trying to get them off their backs.
Maybe if they would only honor legitimate copyright claims. YouTube seems to be ignorant of the fact that there's this thing called fair use. Parody, critique, and review are all covered. Yet butthurt media companies don't like being mocked and criticized so they file false violations and YouTube honors them without question.
I wonder if google always wanted to be this restrictive but waited until it had dominating market share... Or maybe they are just bending to Euroland for the $$$...
Its been the plan. Google (Eric Schmidt + executives) backed / funded Hillary Clinton. Imagine if Clinton and Google were working on the censorship together, we would be in significantly worse position than we are in now.
This is the ultimate fate of any entity that gets too mainstream, they cannot allow large public platforms of free thought and scrupulous debate. Even Voat would befall the same fate as Reddit if it gained the same level of distribution. They have resources they can use (especially the government) to harass and intimidate people who don't comply.

99% chance Google are the ones posting CP to other content providers to get them shut down.
Who am I kidding, it's a 100% chance.

I NEVER get news alerts on my android phone; Except during the 2016 presidential election. Go figure.

The Jews that own Google give the left more money than they get.

Classic strategy.

I think they gradually slid into that kind of thinking when they started rubbing shoulders with globalists.
StatusQuip ago
I think there might have been a soft takeover by the intelligence community(and hence globalists).
fluhthreeex ago
Soft? The company was outright funded by the CIA.

Why do you think Google has never been hit with anti trust laws?
issueninja ago
Because it is a publicly known fact that Google spends literally $Billions to

Google was built by some world class engineers... who all left when they realized what a politics shit hole it was turning into.
StatusQuip ago
Just depressing how far they have fallen. They use to almost be synonymous with the internet and freedom, now they are turning into a caliphate.
SexMachine ago
That "don't be evil" motto they had in their headquarters was taken down about 10 years ago.

Well at least they aren't hypocrites?

LMAO, as if that ever existed on voat. What a moron.
MyOriginalVoatUser ago
Power hungry deviants are drawn to these outfits. It is a shame when they take over.
issueninja ago
This is the key truth. Good people build things, and behind their backs the parasites gain power and take control.
Womb_Raider ago
Voat is undergoing this change before our eyes and some do not see it.

Lol I used to be in Discord with you guys but I don't like socialists of any variety. You know you done fucked up when you're siding with the Jew York Times
