Youtube doesn't want my business.

They keep blocking me.

What was YouTube expecting??? Answer: MONEY without having to WORK for it.

Oh boy coyote urine over coyote urine my fave.

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately Coyote Urine is still more expensive per month than Youtube Premium. I'm not sure if this affects your plans.

Google is such a bully, I want china to succeed.

I'd rather not use these services than switch to a Chinese state service. I don't need to learn the unique ways this is equally as bad as YouTube. ID verification does not have to overt or direct, to exist, given enough data to correlate.

Then again the CCP has absolutely no jurisdiction over you.

Right. Because what people are just clamoring for is MORE draconian over sight on their public video platform.🙄

The thing is i dont give a shit if china tracks my web usage. What are they gonna do? Arrest me if I ever go there? But here in the US the US govt literally will come to your house and arrest you, that's the actual threat to me.

Won't last. Youtube offers financial incentives and originally when Youtube got big it had lax as fuck censorship which is what gained it's initial popularity. Unless China is going to be entirely lax in the same way, there is no incentive for people to move over.

The timing couldn't be better, considering that YouTube doubled the amount of views required to become a YouTube partner for new Creators. If you can get monetized on BiliBili aas well amd earn money with it like you can with YouTube, new Creators might indeed choose BiliBili over YT now.
