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.

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