Youtube/Google is evil, time to fight back

(I'm sensing that this thread may unfortunately end up getting locked...)
But yeah, this is all the "woke" agenda that is currently all the rage in most of the big media/social network platforms. It's exactly the same all over the world (at least, the western world) in practically all of those companies, almost to the letter.
NiHaoMike:
Trying to get back to the original problem, any idea why doesn't Odysee/LBRY have a way to build a "cache node" and get rewarded for providing bandwidth?
rsjsouza:
They probably don't have as much money to spend on this yet. Sure, it might be a "chicken and egg" situation, but they are at least ten years behind the market leader and it is already quite impressive what was achieved already.
NiHaoMike:
What about a way to build a "cache node" and prioritize those who have donated to the creator of the content? That would add value to donating money since the donor gets faster downloads. And those who aren't interested in donating money can donate bandwidth instead, still benefiting the creators they want to support.

What's so bad is it wasn't because of anything she said on Patreon, but elsewhere online. If Dave says something they dislike on this forum, they might ban him.

Pateron's problem is who works for/runs their "Global Trust & Safety".
If you look up some of their current/recent staff it make sense.
1. Sean Bonawitz - Senior Director, Head of Trust & Safety - Formerly had same job(s) at TikTok, Youtube, Google.
2. Jacqueline Hart - Former Senior  Director, Global Trust & Safety - global online payments fraud, trust and safety, compliance and content moderation areas within risk management.  Speaker at such international events as Merchant Risk Council, PaymentsEd, RSA, CNP Expo, and card brand summits.

This "Global Trust & Safety" is another BS term, it's all about credit card financial matters, nothing about ethics or having consistent rules.
The money laundering things I get, but they (the credit card companies) need to drop the "customer is always right" nonsense.
Sometimes the customer is a con artist, or a troll, and send money to someone just so they can trigger a chargeback (result -$40 donation).
Or donate to a Patreon creator, download everything, then call the bank and complain just so you get it for free.

This Woke nonsense is a symptom not a cause, the real issue is listening to cranks who use their personal credit cards to drain other people's bank accounts.
After a while the bank gets annoyed about how much this is costing them, and wrongly hassle Youtube/Patreon/Google, instead of telling a handful of their customers to take a long walk off a short pier.
