Instacast is supposed to become a big one

so get ready to choose between Google and the Zucc

I'm not sure I like the idea of trading one master for another...

welcome to reality

But when I think of mainstreaming BitChute, I mean, could we get Pew De Pie to post there?

Just start putting gameplay videos on there and link there on gaming forums?

upload the stuff that people actually go to Youtube for beyond politics?

Should tell anyone that will listen to post mirror

Then people who care can use it when watching and sharing

I feel like it would be a start.

It's kinda like Voat. If it's just a bunch of guys who no one really wanted to see anyway, it'll only ever languish.

It really is the content makers that make the platform

Agreed.

And the Content.

Looks like Bitchute doesn;t have ads though

It does have a few paid options

Totally optional but still

@pratel the site doesn't support it. What I do is I just boot up the video I want to load up on to bitchute with vlc and take a snapshot from there to upload.

It's not something we could do on our end. It would be one of those "1 day" changes on the developer end.

Something to message the developers as a feature request.

When you develop this stuff it's easy to miss those minor inconveniences.

You get really worried about things just working so you avoid extra special cases. But at some point you hit a point where you can send an intern after a minor thing and it makes a big difference to the user experience.

one way to help populate bitchute with content is to advertise it to streamers, who all use one of those multistream services like restream. they could use it to safely archive their content maybe.

partner with one of those services

I kinda like that. Just drop hints to streamers.

the main thing is that it would need to be seamless

What would be the cost benefit of content creators switching though?

Backup.

That seems like a good question for Tim actually.

BitChute promises not to do adpocalypse.

Content creators like ads, otherwise they would turn monetization off

Yeah, that's going to ultimately be the challenge.

I guess I see an ad on this video though

When the big ad services decide to get picky.

Bitchute would have to figure out ads beyond adsense

I think YT can give a bigger chunk to YTrs because it doesn't have to share ad revenue with anyone else

Google is always going to take things off the top.

Google's main advantage is connections.

And they will always skim.

YT is Google though so they are the only ones taking any beyond YTrs

Course idk if Bitchute takes any cut on ad revenue on their platform

So could still be just Google and CC

I've been thinking

You know there's all this talk about boys being told to repress their emotions

And how they shouldn't cry and be sentimental

I thought so too

But, I think I was wrong

Men aren't told to hide and repress their emotions, they're told to channel it

Always have to be careful about extremes

Feed off their emotions to become better

It's not that they're not crying because they aren't allowed to

They simply use channel that emotion, do something else with it

Actualy work with it

That's what I've learned from being around my guy-friends

Am I wrong?

I would agree with that assessment, yeah

Trying to think of specific examples

I can give an anecdote that inspired this recently

I always think the same thing whenever I hear that men aren't allowed to have emotions. I know I was never told that growing up and never even heard that from anyone else.

well, I can only speak for myself but you aren't wrong.. not always..sometimes it's too much to just 'channel' it

I'd say this isn't just a 'male' thing. It's a traditional masculine trait, but it the kind of thing that would be good to be mastered by everyone.

but yeah I was never told I can't cry or what

I have a friend, her name's joanna

She was dumped a month ago

She'd spend hours crying

Even tried cutting herself

She eventually resumed smoking

Now I have another friend, he was dumped a week ago

I think you're partly right in that sometimes that's the case, but men are also just plain expected to be stoic, told to toughen up, not be a baby, etc

He started spending hours in the gym

He started powerlifting

that is true so in a sense it is implied

Sometimes he'd talk to me

what Schedrevka said

I know he's sad

But he actually works through it

But if it's only ever implied to 'toughen up to use that as fuel to better yourself' and never outright stated then people won't know why it is they're expected to toughen up.

Yea

So I think originally yeah it wasn't just expected of men for no reason, but expected of men because others depended on them to be tough

But those lessons get forgotten over time as they're taken for granted

well..who wants to have fee fees talk, am I right bois

Think of it as similar to learning styles. Some people learn sequentially, others by grouping. We teach as if everyone is a sequential learner because it's easier for grouping learners to adapt to sequential teaching styles. We've just been treating emotional recovery the same way, but it's causing issues because the two ways don't have the same way where we can ignore one.

I honestly wish I could be like that sometimes lol

Yeah I think most guys really just don't want to talk about feelings to the same extent as most girls do, but how much of that is nature vs nurture is hard to say

As far as I can remember, Male's are less prone to emotions

Men tend to bottle more, which also means exploding more

I think men might be more prone to emotions

or maybe not more, but more violently

But learn to become numb to them because they can take control

Not prone to less, just expressing it less often in a way interpreted as emotional

Ultimately though, bottling and channeling are an individual response.

It's seems to be almost entirely common amongst men

I've seen very few women like that

When there is the rare guy who doesn't act that way though his school mates will make sure he learns or he won't ever fit in

so it's definitely not purely nature as far as I can tell

Could have to do with men could be dangerous when anger takes control

It's not purely nature, sure

But it seems common even among animals

Personally I started containing my emotions when I once became enraged and lost control of my body

The bulls of most species engage in dueling, fighting, conditioning each other to get strong or get lost
