  There's a piped link. But yeah people are still using YouTube for all this...which is kinda silly.

    I’m all for using other things, but the reality is that YouTube has a de facto monopoly on video hosting on the internet. If you want reach on the internet, it’s YouTube or basically nothing. Therefore YouTube is the best place to get YouTube users upset at YouTube.

    Other companies which could compete with YouTube on scale host porn and choose not to make a “clean” version to compete.

      This is, however, a sulf-fulling prophecy. As long as people maintain that mentality the cycle can never be broken.

        Totally. It’s network effects, really. People will only leave if the content or people they follow leave. And right now there aren’t many good platforms which comparably pay creators based on watch time / play count of static media, so the creators won’t leave.

      I wonder if people outside of piefed cant see the piped link that gets auto-added to every video: https://piefed.social/post/1136483/comment/7480038

      piped: https://piped.video/watch?v=mGnR3C8bVLA?rel=0

      It may or may not work depending if piped itself is working.

        Oh neat, I had no idea piefed did that. Can confirm it’s not visible in thunder for Lemmy at least.
