>>60782532>>60782372You're both right. US tech companies as a whole, and Google/Youtube in this case are incredibly bloated and at the same time barely functional or valuable at this point (Google is a worthless search engine; Youtube censors, deplatforms and caters to corporations) yet all of them are used to vast profits which have now dried up globally. So they are all, ALL OF THEM, trying to offload their costs and greed onto users despite the obvious fact THEY are the problem on all levels. Even from a moral perspective I won't pay youtube a single cent because it shills all sorts of things I disagree with, and rewards Approved Opinions and caters to corporations.
It's essentially morally wrong to support any of this shit. If vtuber companies by some miracle come up with their own purely vtuber based streaming site I'd go there immediately. I remember the Internet before youtube, and I sure as hell can live without it or streaming video as a whole in the absolute scenario. Youtube, Google, Microsoft, Apple etc., all of them think they're irreplaceable and inherently valuable. They are not. Any country can make a clone of their products and probably make them better. On a grander scale I think we're seeing the first solid signs of an end of an era, the "American dominated" Internet is coming to an end so to speak. These bloated mammoth companies just won't be able to survive in the new global climate and factors ranging from cultural to economical. It's essentially over for them and the only question is how long it'll take for them to fall or downsize immensely.
