Blender is testing PeerTube after YouTube blocks their videos worldwide

> "Would you like to advertise on channels flagged by our system as potentially offensive?"

They already do this. People need to stop being angry at things they know nothing about.

It's pretty irritating. I'm a Red subscriber, so whatever bullshit Google has going on with their advertising monetization policy doesn't -- or, rather, shouldn't -- affect me. Yet the MIT OCW videos are blocked from my account the same as they are for everyone else.

Get your act together, Google. This is just stupid.

Yes and PeerTube https://joinpeertube.org/en/ is fundrising to be improved : https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/peertube-a-free...

20 000 € goal: PeerTube v1, clean and simple

With your help, we can get PeerTube to its first stable release, its v1, planned for October, 2018. You will finance the development of:

  ○ Interface localization, to support multiple languages;
  ○ Video subtitles, to facilitate video accessibility for diverse audiences;
  ○ RSS feeds, to follow instances, users and channels through RSS protocol;
  ○ Video import from URL (YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, etc.) or torrent file;
  ○ Improved and advanced search feature;
  ○ Software stability (bug fixes) and scalability.

45 000 € stretch goal: PeerTube Deluxe v1

There are important features we dream of including into the v1. We hope you will contribute so far as to helping us finance:

  ○ Video redundancy (to share bandwidth between instances or as fallback if the original instance is down)
  ○ Subscriptions to users & channels throughout the federation (for users to subscribe to whatever they want regardless of their instance federation settings)

75 000 € stretch goal: let's pave the road to v2!

PeerTube isn't a quick and easy fix to data-centralization through video platforms. It's an alternative that will grow and emancipate internet users on the long run. At this point, your contributions will help us:

  ○ Finance the development of a webapp that will be available on Android and iOS app stores;
  ○ Contribute to the ActivityPub community. ActivityPub is the groundbreaking federation protocol that runs PeerTube's federation and also Mastodon's (a federated Twitter alternative);
  ○ Secure PeerTube's lead developer employment after the V1 release (oct. 2018);
  ○ Pave the road to V2, where our priority will be a plugin system to facilitate the development of personnalized features and displays.

I understand that not everyone sees it that way.

For me, it matches up with Google destroying the user value of Google sites (like with the Blender videos in the article), and removing 99% of organic search out of their search engine when their algorithm determines that they might be able to convert the query into some cash, or the line they have crossed repeatedly even after being slapped by the EU not once but twice! to make vendors pay for ranking in the top results of search.

For me, I've been watching their CPC numbers drop for decades (that, in my opinion, is a reasonable proxy for the 'profit margin' on clicks) and I've seen them pay more and more to direct traffic to their sites as their organic traffic has dried up.

I see their business model under siege, their profit margins eroding, their efforts at monetization becoming more and more off putting to the data cows they are trying to milk, and conclude they are in fact dying.
