We need to revive the days people write blog posts to help others instead of pushing ads to make money. The content was far better.

Remember the northeast blackout of 2003? My landline still worked fine..

So help me out here.. I've tried to ditch YouTube a couple of times. I currently have a family premium sub. Since it's now like 22 a month, I'd love to save it for something else.

I watch a ton of electronics repair, ham radio, and car repair channels. Some of these channels have only 2k to 100k subs, some much less, like 10. I also look up a lot of how to repair videos a lot when working on my own broken crap (lawn mower, washer, etc).

I tried peertube twice and it's just not it. Nebula doesn't have the content. What else is there? I just can't seem to find a good replacement. Once I can find something for myself, it might be possible to get my wife and kids switched, but it would have to be a lot of gaming videos, make-up tutorials, and freaking happy planner stuff..... I just don't think any other service is going to have this content.

I do prefer finding blog style articles for the repair stuff, but it seems that ship has sailed now. Everything is a video now.

What's your YouTube link? Your the type of content I subscribe to.

Please, just no. Keep those scum influencers away. It would immediately ruin the platform.

How wild that would be. Withdrawal all his campaign donations and just up and go to Russia. He could put a spin on it and make his base extremely upset and violent because the evil left forced him to flee because it's all rigged.

They should have never allowed a bond to be set. He should have just been kept in jail until the trial. Any of us normies would have had to...

Lol I never saw that episode of South Park. That's hilarious.

And the video itself is monetized.

This isn't "something". This is a "we're sorry (not really)" video. If you watch it in the context of "I have no favorites in this game" and look it it pretty objectively, it feels like just a bait to try to stop the bleeding.

A week? To refine all the processes in that size of a company? No. I've gone through these processes before and it takes months to evaluate, talk to employees, get processes down properly, especially when you need to really start over from the standpoint of "this isn't working". They even mentioned they are still having scheduled videos coming out... Did they check those for errors first? I doubt it.

A week to get their inventory control back on track? With the size of their warehouse? No way.

The fact that they let Linus get on there and make the tone deaf statement he did, still backtracking on the billet labs fiasco. He acted like a petulant child who doesn't have remorse.

They are going to post their updates to their processes on floatplane? What. The. Fuck. So no communication through YouTube. You have to pay in order to see how they will do better.

And. They monetized the apology video. They knew they would get the most views ever out of that one. And they monetized it.

I've watched quite a bit of their content and had trusted it in the past.. but I have the same feeling about them now that I had when I found out about Jared from adventures with purpose and his whole "I'm just here to make as much cash as I can" attitude, aside from the fact that he's a child rapist. It just feels scummy to me.

I'm usually ok with some data collection to get stats, like memory CPU usage, etc, especially if they are using it to figure out how to make their software more efficient... But this? Hard pass on this. Especially with collection of other devices on the lan. Wtf Intel?

With the state of internet speeds in the US? No. This won't work.
