i don't want to watch pewdiepie, can someone explain what's his beef here
He switched to linux a while back. Now he's trying to switch as much of the rest of his digital life to FOSS/non-profit stuff. He advocates for duckduckgo, firefox, paid email, graphene os, selfhosted vaultwarden, nextcloud, anything but google maps, kodi, etc.
You had me unti kodi was lumped in with google maps?
I don't think they're including Kodi with Google maps, I think they're just continuing with the list.
"anything but google maps" is its own list item, not starting a new list. That list just doesn't have a googlemaps alternative in mind so they used that.
yeah, that was ambiguously worded.
Just downloaded it and skimmed by frames... Seems to be a list of reasons to degoogle. Mentions privacy, security, and how Google is extending fingers into everyone's privacy by browser, password manager, wallet, phone, etc.
Guy's an ass, but if this gets people on board with degoogling then good for him.
Calling this guy an ass shows that you have no idea who he is. You're probably the type of person who thinks they're well informed but exclusively get their info from echo chambers like Lemmy.
🙄
How are you going to do that advertising using one of their products? He has 100M followers and he's a multi millionare, he should close his youtube account and move in another platform
Good point. People should only advocate for dgoogling on platforms full of people who have already degoogled. It's stupid to try and reach people still using Youtube.
Really didn't like him when he was younger, he was a naive swedish kid that didn't realize that the dumb shit he said online had ramifications because his audience was so big. He helped platform Ben Shapiro to a younger generation when he had him on his channel for a video, he had that scandal where he said the n word, and then of course the clip where he says the glass ceiling doesn't exist. It's clear to me he didn't realize the cultural and political ramifications of that stuff in America because he was never really exposed to it growing up in Sweden, and he was a cocky 20 something that thought he knew everything.
I hope these days he's realizing how idiotic some of that shit was and is actually trying to use his platform to make his viewers aware of valid issues rather than spouting off about topics he knows nothing about to his viewers who take his word as truth.
He also paid some Africans to hold an anti-semitic sign. To prove people will do things for money I think?
The entire thesis of that video was "fiver and things like that lead to exploitation of the global poor", the sign thing was just a catchy clickbait thing.
Can you write here what was in that sign? That catch clickbaity thing that Felix ordered?
As in, would it violate the terms of service here?
Probably 🙂
I think his reasoning was to see how far the sign holding folks would go for money, and they apparently didn't really have any limits. Should he have done and shown it on youtube is the thing he can be criticized for
That's pretty apalling.
What kind of following sticks with someone who humiliates people just because they could use extra grocery money? Just because he had so much cash that he could take a voyercation to somewhere unfamiliar to do it?
If he's come to his senses, fine. Anyway if new users can't figure out CWs and pronouns... that's why we have de-fed, block, and filter...
Maybe someone thought genocide imagery and messaging was a ha ha funny toy. I'm not over it, as someone who deals with hatecrimey stuff on the reg.
I’ve never watched him (I hated him when he would just scream at video games) but he seems to be a lot more mature these days. He even posted a video on why you should switch to Linux recently
I was surprised that the video was actually quite good.
Heartbreaking: one of the most deplorable people in the world made a good point.
If pewdiepie is one of the most deplorable people in the world you know of. You must live in some kind of alternative universe and in paradise.
What's he done to earn that title really? We live in a world of genocide, pointless wars and rapists.
Slightly right of neutral on a moving train is pretty bad.
He annoys me, which is arguably worse.
I mean I don't really consider him a deplorable person... He was a dumb edgy teen 15 years ago that happened to strike a cord with the overwhelming amount of dumb edgy teens on youtube, and strike it rich. I haven't paid a ton of attention to him, but from what I saw of his linux and gadget crafting videos, it sounds like he's grown up a fair amount from his days of scream streaming.
The nazi one IMO was pretty BS. Largely it came from him playing a game, and commenting that other people were trolling putting up swastika's etc...
Which I'll admit, he handled the criticism poorly, did mostly the wrong things because he found it more of a joke than a real thing. He rightly noted that one of the critics was JK Rowling, who he fairly pointed out had no business calling anyone such. When Charlottsville happened is when he actually gave what I considered a pretty sincere fair apology where he basically noted, "holy shit I thought I was being accused of something that didn't exist, I didn't realize that nazi's are actually still so prevelant in modern society so I wasn't taking things seriously.
Now afterwords him dropping the n bomb on a stream was pretty damn bad, though he apologized and admitted it. Still kind of falls into the fact that he'd been paid for years to join in games with a bunch of edgy teenagers, and at the end of the day if you spend too much time with a group of people, you are going to slip up and talk like them.
Again not calling him a great guy or anything, but I'd say everything in him strikes me as a kid that never grew up (because his life was basically set up encouraging him not to), didn't understand the weight of a lot of the things he was around, and made a bunch of childish stupid mistakes.
He was an edgy teenager deep into his 20's.
Others have pointed out how people keep growing up in their 20s and 30s. But also as a media personality, you can't ignore the possibility that he's playing a character on camera. It could legitimately be he just kept acting like his younger self while recording because that pays the bills
If this was a calculated act, that sort of makes things worse.
Valid... but also have to point out he hit big as a celebrity. When you are literally raking in millions of dollars. He was about 21 when he started his channel. and bottom line is, he got views, he got likes, and it turned into real cash. Most of our jobs etc... encourage us to grow up. His job, rewarded him for catering to his base... which of were younger than him.
Everyone is a edgy teenager well into their 20s.
As the joke goes, if your 18 your a child, if your 23 your a teenager, if your 29 your 30, if your 34 your late 20s, if your 35 your 35.
Most people in most western worlds don't even get to start being an adult till they are well into their mid 20s, which means they only START growing up at like 24-25.
It takes years to actually mature. Anyone who understand this has never worked a job that has frequent fresh to the workforce people cycling though frequently.
I was about to respond with this, you're still in college in your early 20s. Most of us don't get a four year degree done in actual four years
We got junior devs in their late 20s because they were doing grad school until like 28
The president is pewmypie? I had no idea!
Hey they said one of.
The enemy of my enemy or some shit.
I've never watched him, but isn't he just a Twitch streamer?
Just throwing this out there, you can open the video and expand the description and there is a button you can click on to view the transcript of the video and then you can just copy that out into a text editor or read it right there
