Why Linux Users NEVER SUBSCRIBE to any Youtuber (lemmy.world)

Typical Linux users (long term) aren't normal (normies). They (like anti-vaxxers) think they can convince the rest of the world to live the way they do.

Don't subscribe to any Linux youtuber! (seriously don't, this is a link to the Bugswriter video): Why Linux Users NEVER SUBSCRIBE to any Youtuber

-Sure, follow this guy's most convoluted way of using RSS.

YouTube's algorithm favors channels with higher subscriber counts because they are viewed as more credible and liked. So, Linux Tubers want less popularity and reach! (Rather than be found by people already using Youtube so they can steer them elsewhere). (I'm against YouTube also because I witnessed them shadow banning raw footage while front page promoting narrated and edited videos contradicting what I saw -which led to civil unrest, increased racism, riots, deaths, loss of businesses).

RSS is great though (and can be far better than what he shows). I use RSS Guard and don't even have to open Youtube. In RSS Guard: Tools > Settings > Network & web & tools > External Tools [tab] > (Here you can setup the feed to open with mpv, yt-dlp, etc with a keyboard shortcut). RSS Guard will automatically find the feeds for you if you give it a url.

Lol, 6 down-votes in less time than it would take to watch the video. -Brigading is real.

Your first mistake was assuming that Linux users would ever watch a video. That's definitely the issue here, you need more text to convince people that they're wrong (it is a good use of your time, and a worthy goal).

I do favor text myself and really hate YT. I'm surprised I had posted a link to the video there. I do encourage use of uBlock Origin, yt-dlp, mpv and of course RSS.

-Thanks!
