# YouTube

YouTube (also JewTube { Lol jewtube.com actually exists. ~drummyfish} or just YT) is a huge, [censored](censorship.md) [proprietary](proprietary.md) [capitalist](capitalism.md) video [consuming](consumerism.md) "website"/platform, since 2006 seized by the [Google](google.md) terrorist organization. It has become the monopoly "video content platform", everyone uploads his videos there and so everyone is forced to use that awful shitty site from time to time to view some tutorial or whatnot, but it makes your brain soft. YouTube is based on content consumerism, aggressive predatory [marketing](marketing.md), [copyright trolling](copyright_troll.md), propaganda and general abuse of its [useds](used.md) -- it is financed from surveillance-powered ads as well as sponsor propaganda inserted into videos. The place is extremely [toxic](toxic.md), radioactive and more dangerous than Chernobyl in terms of probability of acquiring brain [cancer](cancer.md), the propagandists ("content creators") are unbelievably ugly abominations you must start to hate even from just seeing a video thumbnail. Alternatives to YouTube, such as [bitchute](bitchute.md), the "rightist" YouTube, never really caught on very much -- YouTube is sadly synonymous with online videos just as Google is synonymous with searching the web. This is of course extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely bad.

YouTube used to be the place for retards who couldn't keep attention long enough to read a book but today's retard it too stupid even for watching YouTube's 3 minute video, which is why [TikTok](tiktok.md) with its 1 second videos is gaining rapid popularity instead: [zoomer](zoomer.md) can't hold attention for longer than 9 seconds or wait for a new video longer than 3 seconds -- TikTok keeps up with this mental limitation of today's youth.

Just one of countless damages YouTube has done to society is establishing videos as standard medium of any form of communication and information storage -- back in the day Internet was mostly text-based, sometimes there was an image or video of course, but only when needed. Since YouTube's rise to fame a lot of information has just moved to videos, even that which suffer by this format, e.g. books, announcements, notes, presentations, tutorials, pure audio and so on. All of this [bloat](bloat.md) of course makes the information hard to index and search, store, process, view on weak devices, it wastes enormous amounts of bandwidth, computing power and so forth. Thanks YouTube.

{ https://www.vidlii.com seems alright though, at least as a curiosity. Anyway if you need to watch YouTube, do not use their website, it's shitty as hell and you will die of ad cancer, rather use something like invidious or youtube-dl. Here is an awesome hack I discovered to search only old videos on youtube! The new shit is just unwatchable, there's clickbait, sponsors, propaganda, SJW shit everywhere, thankfully you can just exclude any year from the search with with "-year" (at least for now), for example: https://yewtu.be/search?q=free+software+-2023+-2022+-2021+-2020+-2019+-2018+-2017+-2016+-2015+-2014+-2013+-2012+-2011+-2010+-2009&page=1&date=none&type=video&duration=none&sort=relevance. UPDATE: actually you can even just use `before:YEAR` in the search, TIL. Enjoy. UPDATE 2024: Invidious no longer works, they keep creating new frontends and hacks every day, currently the Freetube program is quite nice, I can't keep up with it though, I'll stop updating this shit, just search it yourself. ~drummyfish }

**What are the alternatives to YouTube?** We'll only leave a brief paragraph here for wannabe YouTube alternatives come and go faster than a [zoomer](zoomer.md) changes genders. Best alternative to watching videos is reading [books](books.md) or watching clouds in the sky, but we'll stick to "watching videos on the Internet" here. Also bear in mind that if you have to watch YouTube, use alternative YouTube [frontends](frontend.md), which are normally [FOSS](foss.md) -- e.g. Invidious, piped, HookTube or FreeTube -- these let you access YouTube's videos via less [bloated](bloat.md) and more "privacy-friendly" interface, also filtering out ads and so on, more hardcore people use [CLI](cli.md) tools such as [youtube-dl](youtube_dl.md) to directy download the videos and watch them in native players. Likely the most notable [FOSS](foss.md) alternative to YouTube is **[PeerTube](peertube.md)**, a [federated](federation.md) [P2P](p2p.md) video platform, however for intended use it requires [JavaScript](javascript.md) (there is a way to download videos without JS but it's discouraged) and there are other issues that make it unusable ([SJW](sjw.md) censorship, videos load extremely slowly, ...). If you use PeerTube, don't use the lesbian instances, look up the uncensored ones. Mainstream proprietary alternative to YouTube is Vimeo, Bitchute is the "rightist" YouTube alternative (quite shitty TBH). [Internet Archive](internet_archive.md) has many video, especially old ones -- this is quite nice alternative. Vidlii is proprietary but oldschool site that tries to replicate old YouTube for the nostalgia, it has its own videos and small, dedicated community and very low censorship, it is pretty nice, with 360p videos and all; a site very similar to Vidlii it Bitview.

In November 2021 YouTube removed the dislike count on videos so as to make it impossible to express dislike or disagreement with their propaganda as people naturally started to dislike the exponentially skyrocketing shit and immorality of content [corporations](corporation.md) and [SJWs](sjw.md) started to force promote on YouTube (such as that infamous Lord of the Rings series with ["afro american"](nigger.md) dwarves that got like a billion dislikes [lmao](lmao.md)). In other words capitalism has made it to the stage of banning disagreement when people started to dislike the horse shit they're being force fed. This was met with a wave of universal criticism but of course YouTube told people to shut up and keep consuming that horse excrement -- of course [zoomers](zoomer.md) are just brainless zombies dependent on YouTube like a street whore on heroin so they just accepted that recommendation. Orwell would definitely be happy to see this.

[LMAO](lmao.md), as of 2022 YouTube has become the **kingdom of [clickbait](clickbait.md)**. If you're living in the future and haven't seen this, you wouldn't believe how ridiculously fucked up it is, the platform is quite literally UNUSABLE (but it's still consumable and addictive to idiots so it [works](just_werks.md)) -- ALL videos, including (and especially) those of the "serious" YouTubers (like mr. Veritasium), put absolutely misleading and downright made up lying thumbnails and titles, the videos have [zero](zero.md) [correlation](correlation.md) with how they're presented. Every second a new video is uploaded titled "THE BIGGEST THING IN HISTORY OF EVER JUST HAPPANED" or "THIS NEW THING WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING FOREVER", then then next second another one etcetc., basically according to YouTube every second the most important thing in history is happening. Additionally the majority of thumbnails has to be occupied by some [femoid](femoid.md)'s breasts, even "educational [science](soyence.md) videos", so as to force children to click it and masturbate (YouTube can really be seen as a soft [porn](porn.md) site now). Everyone has to do it because [everyone does it](everyone_does_it.md). The YouTube slave shitheads are constantly bothering you and trying to trick you into "audience interaction" because that's what the algorithm pushes them to do with threats of starvation ("I think 1 + 1 = 3, please let me know in the comments if you disagree"). YouTube is not a place to find something useful, it's a place mostly littered by traps set up to exploit you and you can only hope to maybe get something small back for letting yourself be raped (well, basically like in any other for profit place). In other words [capitalism](capitalism.md) is once again working as expected. Yeah and also **ALL videos include sponsored content**, again even the "educational science videos" that children are forced to watch at schools etc. -- this is in addition to "normal" ads that randomly play during the videos.

A typical 2022 YouTube video now looks like this:

- **title**: *THEY SAID A WOMAN COULDN'T CODE MINECRAFT IN 24 MICROSECONDS SO I PROVED THEM WRONG, ALSO LIFE FOUND ON MARS*
- **thumbnail**: bikini [MILF](milf.md), nipples half showing, overly excited face as if having a stroke, pointing at aliens playing Minecraft
- **content**: 10 minutes of pre-video unskippable ads, tranny shows up urging you to buy premium membership on Nord VPN, 10 minutes of unskippable ads for tranny underwear, tranny opens up C# [IDE](ide.md) that loads for 30 minutes, clicks the "generate game with AI" button, the computer crashes, "sorry for clickbait", 10 minutes of post video ads, "like, comment, give me money on patreon, subscribe, click the bell button, go to settings and check I want to see subscriptions I subscribe to, go to advanced setting and click I really really really want to see my subscriptions I really do and will suck your dick and sacrifice my credit card", next video loads without asking, volume sets itself to 300%, browser close button disappears
- **reactions**: trending video, 10 billion likes, dislikes not shown, comments disabled so that people can't warn others it's a waste of time

*Pinnacle of capitalist entertainment culture: faithful screenshot of YouTube in 2024. Other cultures must envy the heights our art has reached.*

YouTube is also a [copyright](copyright.md) [dictatorship](dictatorship.md), anyone can take down any video containing even the slightest clip from a video he uploaded, even if such use would legally be allowed under [fair use](fair_use.md) and even if that user doesn't have any copyright to enforce (YouTube simply supposes that whoever uploads a video to their site first must have created that video as a whole and holds a godlike power over it), i.e. YouTube is [de facto](de_facto.md) making its own copyright laws which are much more strict that they are in real life (which is hard to imagine but they managed to do it). In other words there is a corporation that makes laws which effectively are basically just like normal laws except they don't even pass any law making process, their evaluation doesn't pass through justice system (courts), and the sole purpose of these laws is to rape people for money that goes solely to pay for YouTube CEO's whores and private jets. A reader in the future probably won't believe it, but there are even people who say that "this is OK" because, quote, I shit you not, """[they're a private company so they can do whatever they want](private_company_cant_do_whatever_it_wants.md)""". Yes, such arguments have come out of some lifeform's mouth. That probably implies a negative [IQ](iq.md).
