Made my peertube.wtf channel yesterday. I had stopped using YouTube when Trump got reelected. With a not-fascist platform I might start uploading videos again.

I totally get you, I'm slowly adopting to a google free environment myself. you guys think Youtube will get proper competitor?

Thanks for this thorough rundown of YouTube's enshittification and egregious practices. Admittedly, YouTube is the one google thing that I haven't been able to fully abandon and I hate it.

I was not aware how bad some of the new features have made youtube, since I almost never go there anymore "directly", I use alternative frontends like nadeko.net provides, so thanks for posting this. Once this loophole is closed, I will loose my favorite creators forever, if they do not migrate to other platforms, or start blogging like this guy.
