if you're interested.
Okay, suppose you have major gripes about living in america, as an american.
I'm not talking about Europeans. I'm talking about Americans, who are generally insular and ignorant about the rest of the world. Without social media Americans wouldn't have even known that the migrant crisis happened, let alone have formulated an actionable opinion on the consequences of it.
"If you don't like it here you can jes GEET OWT."
Because people had always said this, I assumed the immigration process to other countries was easy.
... No it very much isn't. So why do people say it?
As soon as I learned that, I learned how stupid most adults are.
"Oh wow they just parrot each other and never verify."
the only thing americans might have done to help with the migrate crisis is through funding alternative voices, of which youtube is a much better platform for that than twitter or facebook
and small message boards have been around since like day one of the internet
Despite how much youtube wants to fail.
The sheer ability to upload videos and link them quickly will always make them the best thing for the entire world at the moment
the more people participating in a network, the more value it has.
"Wait. Someone can just make an entertaining and well edited video DEBUNKING ONE OF MY LIES?! FOR EVERYONE TO SEE?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
And then the demon breathed fire.
And put on the Hillary mask.
the only reason youtube is so popular is its free to use and free to view, and it is done by being a net loss because it is "paying" for raw material to refine and sell as a product
Yes, because Google used to be cool.
you are the raw material, and your data is the product
Cool Uncles, both.
Double Dragon, they were called.
(Theme of original acquisition)
(pls listen)
and then they got bigger, and the greedy d-bags got into head, then the activist used social pressure to get up near the top
Ephemerality could help youtube. Just automatically delete shit that isn't getting views.
The structure was well-made.
But it wasn't koolaid-tight.
They didn't anticipate a koolaid storm.
So koolaid got in.
Instead of having to store some garbage shakeycam video for decades.
or perhaps youtube could not do that, and an alternative could take that up.
I like that idiom I told just now, I'm keeping it.
it seems like all technology used to be cool, back when it was less useful, but now people take it for granted and see it as a necessity, whatever it is

and beat out youtube by being more cost effective
Youtube is now Kazaa.
Well Bitchute is already more cost effective but nobody uses it.
The big original thing everyone knew about.
