Honestly, people should be double-uploading videos to BitChute. We all instinctively hate Google, and distrust them already so their demise is sure.

It's an incredible surveillance system in so many ways. Only a few DASH video segments ever get cached locally, so even re-watching an old favorite video involves making requests that give away my identity, geographic location, and current interest.
Right. What youtube does to the audience is disgusting. What it does to creators is much worse. When a channel does well, the channel owner starts thinking, he can quit his day job and go fulltime as a youtuber. They borrow money and invest huge sums in building a studio. Then, they realize that they need to post not just regularly but often. You can feel that they are getting burned out. Sometimes, there will be a p…
With the amount of attention around this outage, it feels like YouTube has become completely ubiquitous in modern society. I can't imagine a future in which YouTube just ceases to exist. The company has already become tied to the livelihoods of so many people, and has spawned too many significant subcultures. It's a strange feeling to be alive just after all of the significant technology companies were created and st…
> YouTube has only existed for fifteen years, but it might continue to exist for centuries. Is YouTube profitable yet? I really doubt YouTube will last for centuries, or even twenty or thirty more years. There was a point where it seemed like Geocities was ubiquitous and would be around forever, and now it's gone. Internet services don't have a great track record for longevity. When YouTube finally goes kaput, much o…
Google doesn't disclose that. Only that Youtube have revenues of $15 billion last year.
There wasn’t anything unusual about my CPU behavior when this happened, I can only assume it was GPU or some other part of the system (unfortunately I was too busy to do more than basic troubleshooting at the time.)
Recalling mr.Stallman. This is a good reminder about what can happen with all of your online projects/ data/disk storage/letters/photos/notes once it stops working ...I never stored things online.
I would hope most content creators aren't using Youtube as a primary storage medium. It's not as if the site forces them to delete their original copy after uploading, after all.
And there are also the videos where the "original copy" was on YouTube itself: unless you have a setup to also record locally (or mirror to another site like twitch), streaming videos are only recorded on YouTube.

Sorry it might be due to my age, but I don't understand this. What's the meaning behind the "Stonks" photo they posted?
Search ''Meme text' knowyourmeme' on you search engine and you'll get an answer.

I think it's just because Downdetector is getting tons of traffic which makes it think people are having more issues than usual with virtually everything. I haven't heard any actual people say Spotify, Twitter, or Twitch are down.
There are reports on reddit about inability to download apps from Play Store, but I cannot verify. Doesn’t Downdetector count only users who click on “I have a problem with [service]”? It would seem dumb if all charts moved together any time there is a major outage of a single service.
Down detector scraps sites (twitter and reddit) for 'website.com down' and marks a spike

The problem is that most of my subscribed channels are not in Vimeo, so I lose a lot of meaningful content
I wonder why syndication is not more of a thing. Surely there must be a simple tool to upload your video to multiple platforms at once?

First, collect a few billion dollars....
Do you have any evidence for that?
Distribution has always been historically expensive for any content. While digital distribution is cheaper than ever, B/W costs for a product like YT is enormous .
To make unit economics to any sense, you will need to spin your own CDN and buy b/w from other CDNs when that it is cheaper. For your own CDN, you are looking at few hundred PoPs and thousands of peering agreements with ISPs in each geography maybe lease cables too . This is a substantial investment.
Even if do all this you still have to compete with Google on android where they have a distinct advantage, YT is pre-installed in billions of devices and user account already activated. You will have to pay OEMs a lot of money to get the same kind of user base pre-installed and still do your own user activation.
There is a reason why nobody is trying seriously. the next largest competitors DailyMotion and Youku are 1% of YT size.

Youtube is a metaphysical sun bursting out with multiple different interpretations of any given topic, 90% of them subtlety wrong. Very few have anything original to say. They pad their ten minute timer with history, use youtube's suggested topics and only 1-2 minutes of the episode covers what you want, and usually from such a limited perspective that the little details will still trip you up. For every Ben Eater, t…
