I've thought about this before. If YouTube collapsed, it would be a good thing because someone would develop something to fill the void, or we'd all start using Peertube or something
I'm a white redneck looking cis male in South Dakota. Many of these "nice" people think I'm one of them and will share their most abhorrent opinions with me, which they may not disclose in polite company. It's to the point that I have to wear "woke" shirts that say things like BLM or trans rights to avoid these monsters.
I assure you my belief that Republicans are awful is not unfounded. Ask them what they think about LGBT+ people. "As long as they don't shove it down my throat..." Ask them what they think about Native people -- "That was so long ago, they need to get over [the genocide]." Ask them if climate change is real, ask them about the poor, ask them about undocumented workers.
Republicans are unfit for society. They would immediately be cast out of any functional community, and rightfully so. The only way to deal with them is to socially and systemically deplatform and disenfranchise them. That's why I'd never make friends with a Republican.
I use Firefox+uBO, and I would stop using it, but I'm not convinced that most users would. Too many people fear the slightest bit inconvenience or change.
I interpreted their comment to mean the creators were present during the showing of their creation, which is unusual in that user's community. I don't think their anxiety is related to the person's fame or wealth, but I could be wrong.
Can confirm. I also have to use Sharepoint with certain groups, and it works just fine. The web interface for Outlook works just fine as well.
I also have to use Google at work, and everything I've used works within Firefox.
I think it's important to point this out because a lot of people seem to be laboring under the misconception that the sites they use will break in Firefox. The only sites I've found that don't work are things like Bing AI, which work fine if you switch the user agent header.
I've started using Firefox at work, too. Unfortunately, I still have to use a lot of the Google sites at work, but they all work flawlessly within Firefox and uBO.
I know you are right about all of this, and yet I will still watch shows like the old Addams Family while I'm doing something else just to have a distraction
