I'm with you on the Fuck YouTube and Fuck Facebook sentiments, but I have a business that depends on these platforms for marketing and sales. And before some asshat with zero work experience says "well, you're part of the problem then!" I'd like to see how you would operate a retail business without using any services that are cucked.

Accept cash? Is your bank based? Accept any major CC's? none are based What about your insurance provider? Payment processor? Internet provider? Landlord? shit, my rent is just shy of $10k/month and most of these costs have no alternatives. I've seen the same people say "fuck facebook, youtube" and then say "fuck amazon and walmart" without realizing that eliminating social media for businesses just gives more business to Bezos. If you are saying the cost of closing millions of small businesses is worth it if we can just get rid of the tech giants, you are no different than the ones saying the same thing about WUFLU lockdowns.

I don't use any social media for personal use, so until the new replacements like Parler and Rumble allow me to create a business page, I have to stick with the ones that work.

*Copied from a comment I made recently on a youtube related thread. I wanted to make it it's own post for visibility in case you guys know of actual alternatives.
