History is repeating. As soon as they got enough power, they use it to exercise their own view of the world, deleting data//videos they don't like or reselling it to 3rd parties.
We need to come up with a better solution for non-technical users to post content outside those platforms.
I think the news from the last couple days, make it clear that the next step is to MOVE OUT of all those platforms. History is repeating.

With the rise of home fiber and raspberry pi type cheap boxes we can do it with data local and software free.
I’m not sure what the business model is. I’m looking to porn and privacy for early examples. This worked for the Internet. AOL chat/porn was a huge use case for early chat/messaging. Music piracy and video piracy before Netflix/Apple Music. Etc etc.
I'm not saying this is one of those stories, but Pornhub does a lot of PR stunts that exist just to get their name in the news. And since we live in the clickbait economy, outlets will gladly go along with it.

I’ll be satisfied when I can buy a full auto, short barrel, suppressed, 51 caliber, via anonymous mail order, and paid with crypto currency.
Not really. There is now an independent streaming service dedicated to shooting sports: https://www.full30.com/ . A lot of the youtube channels are moving there, including InRange (mentioned in the article): https://www.full30.com/channels/inrange
