Let’s be honest, and this is not just YouTube, but if everyone (from viewers to creators) would just stop using these corporate services, then this wouldn’t be a problem. Go on strike for a few weeks. Find some other non-corporate related service (like peertube).

I get it. A lot of people are deeply entrenched in YouTube. And if that’s going to remain the case, then embrace it. Make it your mantra. Quit bitching about enshittification. Because until everybody stands up and says No collectively, this shit will keep happening and only get worse with each iteration.

We got complacent when we cut the cord with cable. We thought we finally cut the head off the beast. But like any good hydra, it grew two more. And now what? We give up? Fuck that. Stand up and tell them to fuck right off.

Or don’t. Those shiny metal(?) plaques that YouTube gives out sure are pretty.

The hardest steps are the first few ones. Same thing with Lemmy. I was really hesitant to join on here because there weren't many people. But now that I'm on the wagon I absolutely love it and I'm glad to be a part of a community that's generating quality content. So thanks to all the lurkers, voters, commenters, posters on the fediverse, you are helping us all as a whole.

I hope peertube will be similar to this as well. We get the privacy individuals, tech individuals, the rest might come trickling down.
