In this video I discuss how YouTube fighting ad blockers is actually making ad blocking extensions and browsers more powerful, and how there is a long history of things like this happening on the inte...
“((( )))”? I thought that was a crowd saying something e.g “((( that’s what she said )))”. Or being a really fat dude. I remember :-))) being a smiley with a triple chin.
When they’re not doing that, it can actually be pretty good. Punching down is one of the main reasons why “the left can’t meme.” They can make spicy memes when they’re punching up. Rightoids needlessly punching down only drives away potential converts.
For real. I didn’t realize how bad all of the YouTube alternatives are. They are just flooded with neo-nazis and bigots. It just sucks with how we really don’t have much choice other than to use something like newpipe.
In my mind it makes sense that the more extreme people tend to gravitate from public circles and tend to land in places that have less moderation and more freedom of speech unfortunately.
There’s a reason speech isn’t 100% free. Yelling fire in a crowded theatre is never cool even when it’s Great White, but in our eternal September someone’s always lobbing the fart jokes because for their little mind it’s new and cool.
YouTube is also that way. It’s just that it gets buried down by the shitload of people who use it.
Eh to degree, but the reason neonazis and bigots seem to flock to/make up a majority of these sites is often because they’re getting banned on YouTube - and these video platforms opt to survive by leaning into that instead of properly moderating their platform.
Odysee is pretty mixed, but all alternative platforms are going to attract people who were pushed out of mainstream platforms, which biases them toward weird political orientations.
Personally, I prefer peertube, but odyssee had potential… before the nutters. Peertube has this issue, too, but being decentralization, it’s more of finding an instance with less nut. Like soy, nuts are in everything.
I was talking about the content creators that post solely on odysee specifically, as they tend to be as nut as the commenters (not always, of course). But you bring up a good point. There are two main problems with odysee…
Jesus what the hell is going on in those comments over there.
Welp.
“((( )))”? I thought that was a crowd saying something e.g “((( that’s what she said )))”. Or being a really fat dude. I remember :-))) being a smiley with a triple chin.
((( What does this mean to some people now? )))
Its 4chan slang for jews
I want to unlearn English now please

Confusing… that sounds positive. We should remember the atrocities committed against them. Funny how it was flipped to mean something bad.
IMO, it should be reclaimed. Just like “slut”, “queer” and other words are being reclaimed in a positive sense.

Jews.
Wat?
Jews Google? Jews say Google? Google for Jews? Google by Jews? Google owns Jews? Google is owned by Jews? Google likes Jews?
How is that supposed to be interpreted?

Thanks. Conspiracy theorists…
Jewgle
Yes.
It’s a symptom of a Lisp programmer on meth.
Imagine being an alien and receiving a message from earth with LISP code. The last 3MB would just be brackets.
((())) indicates that someone is allegedly Jewish. Sometimes they use )))((( for their own names to imply that they’re surrounded by Jews.
His comment section is pretty fucking wild.
I really hope Louis Rossmans’s fan base is less toxic. The fact that he has been on Tim Pool probably imported a lot of weirdos.
I’m all for right to repair but that dude has always been a weirdo, imo
I went to odysee once and saw the Babylon Bee advertised front page. Told me all I needed to know about the platform.

The bee claims to be satire to deflect criticism. Often it fails to satirize at all, and just says shit things with intent to claim “its a joke bro”
Much of The Babylon Bee’s content, while stated to be satirical, often misses the point of satire.
It doesn’t work to defend existing power structures.

If I remember correctly they’re owned by a conservative Christian company

I think Odysee might eventually moderate blatant white supremacists.

So many alternatives get flooded with these crazy people
What the hell indeed.

How did you find the “care of” button instead of “%” symbol?
