Recently RevLeft has gone a little bit "tepid" in it's content so I wanted to show something new. Something to get all of us on the same page on things.
For the last few months now, YouTube has gotten really bad. Trust me, it was bad before ever since google bought the website. Shamelessly trying to use the website to make their own Facebook rip-off Google+ to compete in the market (which failed). But now it's intolerably bad, let's plays are old now apparently old, since most channels I've seen around are stagnating. Now everyone and their mother is doing one of those dumbass pranks and making channels specifically for this dumb shit! Not only that, but now they're also doing reaction videos, one of the dumbest, laziest, and utterly unoriginal things I've ever seen in my life.
But you know what is the most infuriating thing of all time? The fact that YouTube is going on a rampage and is shutting down many, many channels for the dumbest reasons. There are 2 instances I know of but there are much more. Recently IHE and AlternateHistoryHub have been kicked out of the website for no legitimate reason. For IHE it was because his videos were ''too unoriginal and unwanted repetitive videos''. For AHH it was randomly not getting monetization for his videos, which is nonsense because most of his videos are pretty interesting analyses of alt-history. However Google now controls so much it can do whatever it wants.
Wait? Where have I seen this before? A company with so much control over a specific market that it can do practically anything?
hmmm..
Why doesn't this sound quite familiar? What we are facing here is something called a monopoly! Something that exists when a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity to a consumer base! Google knows this, and is ready to get some good money through making their garbage channels like Pewdiepie and Jinx very popular ad rich, while eliminating any naysayers (in this case IHE) who know this system is bullshit. We all know where this is going, Google is a shitty company just like all capitalist corporations and needs to be eliminated. And lastly, we need to find an alternative to YouTube.
