I was lucky I got one \

I'd never seen them since b4 last month

and i've been watching right wing videos for awhile

oh that raises an interesting point

should the government step in to regulate google and other social media?

no

but a company could lose their users if they abuse the power they have

well it already has in a lot of ways

but in google's case they're a monopoly

so should they remove existing restrictions

Monopolies are sketchy by principle

a monopoly on what?

video streaming/uploading\

pretty much all things internet

I woudn't agree with that

Can you think of an alternative to YouTube

plenty of alternatives

i mean yea

technically

Besides Vimeo or something silly

instagram?

lol

but you think someone would switch from google to bing just because google is left wing?

Instagram is owned by Facebook

youtube is the #1 social media, but instagram and facebook are owned by the same company and are 2 and 3 respectively

luz

yea but instagram isnt a video streaming platform

ig facebook could be

but the 1m limit on instagram prevents it from becoming anything like youtube

It’s not like YouTube basically isn’t the entire “videos” section of a google search result

nah you're right, it isn't

I think companies should be allowed to do whatever they want whenever they want as long as they don't openly try to undermine the democratic process

like jack said dailymotion is another big one that pops up

patreon

twitch

twitch you cant upload your own videos

they are just cut vod's

Regulation of those monopolies would be tricky in any measure

of course

The internet is sort of like western expansion

but I still can't consider youtube a monopoly because you can compete against it
