As YouTube moves past the era of promoting the “you” and into more corporate driven agendas. It seems like de-platforming and censorship are the what the “in” terms are for Google and YouTube. In this video TheQuartering talks about how YouTube is actively promoting censorship of viable alternative platforms such as LBRY.com, Bitchute.com and DailyMotion.
The alternatives although not a threat to YouTube currently – are growing, (albeit slowly) but still expanding each and every day in the wake of these mass censorship events by companies like Google, YouTube, Twitter, etc.
In this video we see a drive to push content creators to publish to growing alternatives, and I agree. It is content creators who can push these decentralized tools over the edge into the mainstream. So if you happen upon this article, I urge you to not stop using YouTube, but to also use these alternatives to put them on a more even keel with their larger counterparts.
I will be posting a full article on these alternatives so it can be used as a reference for anyone who needs such information. In this age of curtailing information – it is our duty as independent creators to put readers and viewers in the know of such information, as there are some who would prevent its very dissemination.
For now I would also like to recommend – Minds.com, Gab.com, Pocketnet.app as these are fully decentralized content sharing alternatives. Be on the lookout for the next few articles which will go a bit more in-depth into each of these tools.
