Youtube/Google is evil, time to fight back

(1/61) > >>

NiHaoMike:

(Note that it's not just about Naomi, she just happens to be a popular creator affected by unethical stuff on Youtube's part.)

Here's a list of what to do:
* If you're not already using one, install an adblocker. If you want to, whitelist Youtube to support creators, blocking Google ads everywhere else still makes an impact. (Hiding the ads and "autoclicking" them with AdNauseam instead of blocking them might work better in that it would cost Google the ad views/clicks, but that would also increase their ad view/click count.)
* Don't use Google search, use DuckDuckGo.
* Don't use Chrome, use Firefox or Chromium.
* Don't get Youtube Premium (cancel it if you have it), use an adblocker and give directly to the creators.
* Use Make Internet Noise or similar to waste Google's resources as a protest, use in conjunction with an adblocker. It would also make their data collection less useful although it works best if you minimize the data you're giving them in the first place.
* Use/support more ethical alternatives to Youtube.

I personally already do all of the above, except for using "Make Internet Noise", which I didn't know about.

Which one?

Big tech censorship is not new - just ask conservatives and liberals and their channels that discuss anything against the most accepted narrative of the big tech, CV policies, Ukraine war, etc. That is why a lot of people are going to Rumble, Odysee, Locals, Telegraph and other alternatives. These are still small, but hopefully people wake up and move away.
