Imagine losing all of the stuff available on YouTube - so many things from the past decade are stored on it! Hopefully, if this ever happens, they might give us some time to save/archive our videos. Maybe. My six subscribers will be crushed by this news Have a happy New Year!

That's what I thought for a long time until last week. Google / YouTube just got exposed for trying to do exactly that. Which is weird because that's going to affect their bottom line.

Which is weird because that's going to affect their bottom line. They are doing it because they are effectively a monopoly and the political ideologues among their ranks have the loudest voices (and the most pressure on management). Either the government will break up the company or they will continue as planned. Solutions? Use Vivaldi or Brave for your browser (I've been using Vivaldi for over a year now) and DuckDuckGo or Startpage for search. Using Google and Chrome is always okay as long as you realize there's bias in the search results and you don't go to any sites they don't like. As for YouTube itself, I'm surprised they haven't banned more channels. It's far from the only video hosting site on the web but it's still where 99% of the video content is. It's mainly the alternative news media channels that have moved to other platforms and not the entertainment content so, for many, there isn't much of a point of using other video sites yet.
