I’ve gotten value over the years from Twitter. Learned a ton from those I follow (including you). Even have a few hundred followers myself (even though I’m positive I’m shadow banned because of constant shit posting).

That said I ain’t ever verifying anything or paying for shit. Twitter (and all social media) can get F!

Same for YouTube. I have a channel and post videos weekly (mainly just to store huge videos) but no way I’m verifying, or monetizing, or paying for any of that.

These clowns can kill my account(s) any day they like. F that!

I’ll just run my own site and as freedom tech continues to expand migrate more of my stuff there.

is there still no decentralised version of YouTube? insane that nobody tried... I guess the question is "where tf do you store PB of videos..."

There is a product called Zion that is designed to do decentralized ā€œhousesā€ for influencer types to run their own content and not be tied to the centralized providers. It is Nostr-ish with additional tools on top to help run and store things.

At some point I’ll move to (or something like that) that with my content (and pay for my own storage) but it’ll be mine and completely decentralized.

YouTube is fine for me for now. It is free and very easy. I’m not storing controversial content so it works fine.
