Every single youtube channel needs to start seeding torrents of their videos, and posting those links to other platforms (here, mastodon, etc).
Youtube / google could be defeated collectively if creators were to consistently do this, and interested people had the ability to help seed videos.
I'm just so tired of the algorhythms. It's like being in a cage mentally.
I go to my son's house, and start browsing through his streamers, and he's got all kinds of stuff I never see. They keep me boxed into the algorithm they've assigned to me, and wont let me see anything else, so I keep picking from their choices for me, which only locks me harder into their box.
I've tried to escape several times with no luck. I've deleted my entire history, views, comments, unsubscribed from channels, you name it. Within a day it looks like I never left.
