"YouTube is still being mean to me. I guess I'll log onto my other YouTube account to complain about it. I'm not going to stop using YouTube and stop helping them get traffic. That would be crazy."

i get what you're saying - but leaving youtube cedes that ground to the left (a la twitter)

What “ground”? Who the fuck cares about Twitter or YouTube?

hundreds of millions if not billions of people

any other competing platform currently offers a minuscule fraction of the potential audience

to completely abandon youtube before alternatives can grow to compete would be pretty foolish

valid criticism might be that you think people like Crowder have the clout to help grow another platform and aren't currently doing enough to help that growth, but in the here and now, completely ditching youtube out of principle doesn't make sense if the goal is to keep spreading the non-fake news to as many people as possible
