If this isn't a warning sign to leave YT as a creator, nothing will be.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
I think it's because there was a time where the Internet wasn't completely usurped by corpos yet. YouTube was phenomenal in its prime. YouTube alternatives that try to take root today can never have the same popularity or success as YouTube because they are trying to begin thrive in a completely different ecosystem. It's certainly admirable to try and salvage the wasteland it's become with pushes towards alternatives but it's just not realistic.
That and user base is important for a content creator and their options are to suck up the shitty parts of media sites or shoot themselves in the foot trying to reach an audience.
Edit: I understand the irony of posting this on lemmy: a federated reddit alternative, but I'm here mostly because I'm a spiteful hermit who doesn't want the general population's company.
