Privacy-focused? YouTube? 🤔
I watch people, not the platform.
Isn't it like buying pro union t-shirts from Amazon?
Firstly, we do not have worthy alternatives (PeerTube and Odyssee are not yet sufficiently developed). Secondly, I watch them through LibreTube, so Google does not know information about me. Thirdly, the world consists of compromises. This is one of them.
The world consists of compromises
This is one of those things that is very true and is very easy to forget until you take a moment to step back.
definetly!
I get it, I just find it ironic that people post privacy related content on a platform run by the worst company in the world privacy wise.
I think there are defendable grounds for saying someone posting about privacy on YouTube is and is not ironic. How surprising or unexpected it is depends on many factors like the poster's goals, threat models, and degree of altruism, user expectations regarding the poster, and congruence or incongruence with all of the above.
Yep, totally depends how you look at it.
Andthee worlds servers are hosted by Google, Amazon (AWS) and Microsoft (Azure). Are we not supposed to use the internet now?
The modern world consists of irony, albeit often sad. The goal of many of them is to reach ordinary people. And they watch videos on YouTube. The end justifies the means, I believe.
This only makes sense if you think Google is the one who puts up all videos on YouTube, and it's not a platform where basically anyone can put up a video about anything.
Because Amazon is the only one selling on Amazon? Ever heard of Amazon marketplace?
