Oh I’ve known. The difference is I’m not dumb enough to continue using shit I hate.
Unfortunately you’re kind of stuck if what you want to watch is only being uploaded there. That’s why these alternatives exist. So you can watch their shit without contributing back to the site.
If what I want to watch is one a platform that I despise so much that I feel I need to whine about it online- and is a platform that takes advantage of people that create content for it to the point that it makes it to headline news articles-
Then no, I’m going to tell you that I’m not stuck at all. Those that feel they have no choice are.
I have enough strength of conviction to not support such a thing because I’m not weak-minded and addicted to watching videos like they are.
I can very easily walk away from anything I feel is hurtful to others, or just plain shitty. Basically, I just find it easy to not support things I hate.
You’d think this would be a simple and popular way to be- but ironically, if you suggest people stop using a shit platform that hosts things they like, like YouTube- they will turn on you in a second- but if you hate something that offers them nothing in return, like Norton Antivirus well… that’s just fine.
Kids are fucking weird.
