Yeah let’s all rally and praise our movement while the noose slowly tightens.

That worked so well this election.

Or we get proactive and enact a parallel economy. Fortify our defenses, reach out to allies in local government positions to ensure free and fair communication.

Fuck. YouTube. That argument is the same as when people were bitching that we should stay on Reddit and “hold the line”.

Until the alternatives are established enough it's silly to abandon existing infrastructure. As it is now YouTube pays Steven Crowder to tell the world how screwed up YouTube is. Maybe there are some similarities between YouTube and Reddit, however I still don't see the value in making their job easier by just walking away without the required alternative platforms in place.

They do exist.

Rumble, duck duck go, Parler. They want you erased. Gone. Vamooshed. Blacklisted

You’re taking about crowder like he’s making YouTube money. Nope. They give him his 30 peices of silver and will censor him in a heartbeat.

You are empowering tyrants through your apathy and addictions to their services.

Moreover why do you think these leftists give a shit about your contributions or opinions?

Yeah, I’m aware of those platforms, and some you did not list and for the applicable services I am on the alternatives as well.

You are empowering tyrants through your weakness. All they have to do is be themselves and you’ll pack it in.

I don’t recall asserting leftists care about my opinions. If you’re thinking, don’t see much evidence there, I’m asserting they care about how best to monetize my clicks and that Steven Crowder is being financially compensated by a company that hates him, me, and anyone to the right of Mao.

Continuing to cede ground is folly, we’ve arrived at men going into the bathroom with little girls by ceding ground. No thanks, I’ll keep watching things YouTube hates on YouTube. Not very heroic I know, but it’s about what is needed on this issue.
