@Vortax @andybalaam YT is already saturated, relatively small group takes 99% of all the views & subscribers and earns well (and Google even better) There's plenty "YT demonetized me" dramas out there recently

Spanish police are raising questions about #Bitcoin ATMs, which they say are currently not covered by the #EuropeanUnion’s anti-#moneylaundering regulations.

@Vortax @kravietz Also worth noting: an increasing number of people on YouTube and Twitch are using Patreon to earn money, which does not give power to Google. Even better would be free alternatives https://switching.social/ethical-alternatives-to-patreon/

Yes, it is working for some people, but I wonder if the current patreon system can sustain so much creators if YouTube stop paying money.
I personally think that system would get saturated and would collapse, substantislly reducing the number of creators available.
I'm not defending YouTube (I HATE YouTube and all it represents), I'm just playing Devil's advocate here..

Stop paying with your data then. That's the point of #peertube.
It seems like it's worthless now, but if you back up these videos on a peertube instance, you're creating the content and the audience for a wider shift to an Internet where youtube does not get to decide whether you are visible or not.
@jj and it seems to be confirmed by this https://www.gsc-europa.eu/news/update-on-the-availability-of-some-galileo-initial-services #gps welcome to a single point of failure
@jj someone on Twitter said a ground station is down in Italy
@jj precisely, that is what comes to mind first...
@write_as I think I got there from support our link on read.as :) thanks for fast reaction
@Vortax also a bit of a correction on the "upload to you part" - Peertube is federated so it doesn't really matter where you upload; for example I could watch this fine "Python Async basics" video on https://troll.tv/videos/watch/fce3f4a5-0f31-42ca-b6ef-910ad83f969f Peertube instance regardless of where the author @andybalaam originally uploaded it - that's a whole different paradigm here, there's no "reference platform"!
@Vortax this IMHO depends only on your objectives; if you publish to monetize - well, YT is your partner (although greedy and unpredictable); if you publish to teach or for fame - you can refer people to your Peertube videos from any channel of your choice: Mastodon, Twitter, SSB, Facebook, LinkedIn or evern YouTube itself - the latter would probably work quite well with the current security videos witch hunt there...

Something fishy going on with the Galileo GNSS navigation system - all production satellites "NOT USABLE", no word of explanation from the operator https://www.gsc-europa.eu/system-status/Constellation-Information #gps
@Vortax Why "no alternative"? Peertube works like a charm. If you're a popular tutorial autor on YT, people will follow your content wherever you post it

@kravietz
Totally true. Unfortunately, till today, there is simply no alternative to YouTube. Not Vimeo, not peertube, nothing. So, having content banned from YouTube is a great loss, and we should make them know when they do something we don't like.
Datahoarders made a fucking great move backuping all this content. We need alternatives to YouTube, but until then, I think we should have right to protest when YouTube makes a dick move like this.
@Vortax this is precisely why should be rebuilding the Internet - and that's why we're using Mastodon rather than Twitter. We wouldn't change anything 15 years ago if we just sent petitions to Internet Explorer team rather than f*k IE and use Firefox/Chrome
@Vortax Google will be forbidden from doing this under Article 17 of the new EU Copyright Directive but it's not live yet. I'm not defending Google, I'm just encouraging everyone to stop depending on them.
