I hear ya, but ultimately content is king. Have any good alternatives? I like listening to stuff on my daily commutes and while I work in my workshop/at my desktop (like Tim Pool, Sargon, Crowder, Shapiro, etc.). I've heard of others like bitshute but haven't really made a transition. I think YouTube is going to be instrumental going forward in manipulating people just like Tencent and other government front groups in China.

Edit: Honestly, this site would be amazing to host alternative news and media platforms as a belly button that we can review to ensure sites like Drudge, who were once good, can be adjusted for over time as well. One personal example is Ace.mu.nu - a blog I've enjoyed for quite some time.
