@AvonVilla yes you do, but it’s a monopoly so there’s so alternative to see the content.

There’s other browsers than Chrome and other email servers than Gmail and other apps than Google’s and other phones and other [etc.]

@thomasfuchs No alternative? Sounds like you are bowing to the mightiness of the unstoppable google. Better to say, "don't watch youtube, don't upload to youtube". If you ignore things like peertube, why even bother being on mastodon. You could equally argue there's "no alternative" to twitter.

@AvonVilla YouTube has, right now, a 99% market share of any creator-made video content. This means there’s literally no alternative to it _that has the content_.

I’d love it if creators would cross post to other platforms.

Alas, they almost never do.

@thomasfuchs I wouldn't love it if they cross-posted. I'd love it if they didn't post to yt at all! Maybe I am holier than thou, but you are a little bit pregnant with google's love child. 🙂

@thomasfuchs Also, would you consider removing this logo from your website?

Google chrome logo and the text  "available in the chrome web store"

Not enough people will make that commitment around the world for your idea to work.

They show producers will only leave Youtube if they're forced to find alternatives. Even the people on Nebula (which I do subscribe to) keep using Youtube as well.
