I've dropped all of them in a way. I only go to YouTube to watch the weekly alton brown. Instead of YouTube, I spend 4 bucks a month to watch the stuff that Corridor has on thier website. I'm trying to degoogle and demicrosoft my life.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

Flashback history and darkest chapter, due to his inability to address the history of Israel and the genocide of Palestinians.
Flesh Simulator gave off subtle vibes of being kind of a chud, but he made interesting videos; then he partnered with MDE and put longform content behind a paywall there. I am not giving money to MDE, so MDE can give it to Sam Hyde, so Sam Hyde can give it to neo-nazis, no matter how good the content is; and the fact he defends this at all (and still does, to my knowledge) was enough for me to say "nah let's just watch someone else"
NetworkChuck when he started his religious bullshit at the end. He’s a smart guy and had some great content. But peddle your snake oil on a separate channel. I came for the tech, not the sermon.

Deleted my Google account once the degoogle of my phone was complete. I dropped 100% of who I followed. Sometimes they still come up in the DuckDuckGo screen and I watch them through there and if they move to any other platform I'll consider it. Maybe.
But I'd rather they moved to Peertube and setup a funding method.

Matt Carriker (Demolition Ranch, Off The Ranch). stopped watching right around when they started their in-house merch business and stopped being even remotely relatable. The reason I watched in the.first place was because he always seemed so down-to-earth and actually made interesting content.
Major respect for him stepping off the platform a year or so ago. Seems to have some priorities straight I guess.
I caught a few of his videos and was immediately put off. Felt like an irresponsible child who'd stolen his dads guns and tannerite.
