We’re going to destroy YouTube and make them lose millions overnight.

>Anon, don’t be ridiculous... First of all, tell me, how do you plan to take down a billion-dollar company?
First, coordination and committing to spread this message to other communities on the Internet. We already did it with Visa/Mastercard, and to this day, they’re still feeling the pressure.

>Yeah, but Anon, a wave of calls wouldn’t affect YouTube in any way. They make money from ads and... OH!

Exactly.
Second, STOP USING YOUTUBE. Go watch Netflix, read a book, listen music, play that game you’ve been putting off. But STOP, USING, YOUTUBE!

>Anon, your plan is brilliant... But I don’t think everyone is willing to just set aside something that’s already part of our daily lives...

Third, if you absolutely need to watch YouTube, download FreeTube on PC and NewPipe on Android. Use a VPN so you can keep watching videos in case they temporarily block your access for using a third-party API.
Don’t use YouTube in a browser with AdBlock. Besides giving them validation, they also make money by selling your user data.

>ANON, YOU’RE A FUCKING GENIUS! But, I have a friend who’s a streamer or monetizes with videos and...

Fourth, tell that miserable bastard to move to another platform, no matter what kind of content they make. If they abandon YouTube for just one day, that’s already enough damage to wreck this attempt to control our privacy.

(It’s not that hard to make YouTube give in. We just need to gather as many people as possible with a single goal in mind.)

seems like every time a competitor emerges they're even worse so im not holding my breath for anything ever i barely use yt as is

Content creation shouldn't be a job. Not watching YouTube is something I can agree with super bump

>>106167918 (OP)
why not try and replicate the MeiAIDS incident

>find a vulnerability that allows me to change any yt thumbnails into whatever the fuck i want
>change every yt thumbnail to hardcore porn and gore and whatnot
>bot thinks this is "not family friendly" and starts demonetizing the entire platform
>since anyone can't squeeze a penny off views anymore, they'll resort to shit like patreon/finding an actual job to try and not starve out of poverty
>watch as how a legendary website gets turned into an overmoderated wasteland full of bots and content farms

Why shouldn’t it be a job asshat. Should everyone be a gorilla that moves bags of cement?

they just have so much pent up love to give, specially to little girls

>>106168072
Why shouldn’t liberal arts be punished? So on top of an asshat you’re a sadist prob a boomer
>bahh the liberal arts said mean things about billionaires
Well maybe they’re right idk asshat

>>106168027
A bunch of YouTubers are annoying and irrelevant to any given person, but it used to be only Real Media Companies could make and broadcast a TV show when now any kid with a camera can. There are issues in terms of algo sorting and content influencing in the same way the old system had issues, but compared to having 60 TV channels full of bullshit it seems better that there can be a million different little shows for different audiences.

Save the useful stuff, destroy the grifters.

squeak

lmfao so cringe

>>106168241
Who decides what is useful? It's better to let everyone upload anything than have arbitrary restrictions in place, outside of spam filtering. Arguably the worst part about YouTube is all stuff derived from their content moderation and algorithm priorities. Let anyone upload whatever they want, and the market can decide. If the market is that 100 million kids want to watch another Minecraft video and 5000 people watch a video on how to fix the sink, that's 100 million ad impressions to keep the service running and 5000 people get to fix their sink.

>>106168048
Unironically yes. Do REAL work in the REAL world that has a REAL impact on your immediate community.

>>106168667

I assume you're an engineerCHAD correct

>>106168039
>>watch as how a legendary website gets turned into an overmoderated wasteland full of bots and content farms
..........that's different from the status quo how?

so your plan is to get like 20 /g/ users who already block all ads in the first place to not use youtube for one night and save google some bandwidth?

>>106167918 (OP)
Just download any video you want to watch and use freetube/grayjay as a front end if you really want slop, it's been around for years.

>>106167918 (OP)
thank god for giving kids the insatiable will of livestreaming themselves

>>106168027
agreed
but software development shouldn't be a job either

they should legalize child porn

this not only applies to yt but to the rest of the internet as we once knew it now

Youtube GAINS money if you boycott it. It's one less non-profitable user watching obscure uncached shit, whose browsing habits are so pedophilic (if not outright schizophrenic) that their data is not even useful to advertisers.
If you want to send a message, use botted requests to generate cache failures on massive amounts of cold data. This puts a load on their datacenters and causes unnecessary transfer costs.

There are a lot of kids and need who practically live on YouTube. I don't think a /g/ boycott would do too much. I have pipepipe but only use it for music.

>>106170433
Does this mean we're not allowed to rally behind common interests and act upon them in a coordinated way?

>>106171018
Silly anon, youtube doesn't pay for bandwidth

Definitely doing this, bumperino

Yeah, they... took a stock tumble that reads to their investors as statistical noise. Really holding their feet to the fire...

I don't even know why you people hate youtube so much. how did it hurt you? why do you care about what other people do with their fucking life?
I'd rather attack google itself, considering what they've done to the internet as a whole

>>106171716
I think that one jeet woman did it once already.
What if it happens again?

>>106171716
>how did it hurt you?
Google is following the same Agenda that the UK government, EU, and payment processors are: to lock down the internet before the final stage of the totally-unplanned-emic.
