A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Youtube is very hard on the people that provide content and don't have a corporation backing their play.
Only the people who provide content for profit tbh. For the original focus of YouTube, which was simply to provide the ability for the collective "you" to post videos and share them with the world, it's fine. The problem was, like every platform that provides a financial incentive to do anything, it gets gamed by those seeking to profit off of it and devolves into a corporate hellscape.
Ignore the monetization aspect and, other than the ads (which can be blocked by uBlock at least for the time being), it's still a fine platform.
