Welp. I think I got rate-limited by #YouTube. Every time I attempt to open a video now it wants me to sign in to prove I’m not a bot. (Which is pretty fucking hilarious coming from an outfit that’s used its bots to Hoover up the entirety of the internet).
I was messing around with synchronizing YT channels to my #Peertube instance and must have tripped something. Now I can’t open YT videos on their site, Peertube or #Invidious.
Maybe it will reset at some point? 🤦♂️

To me this reinforces my belief that we need to construct and support alternative, open platforms for sharing information that exists outside the control of fascist-owned walled-garden sites like YouTube. One of the end-states of this rush into 'AI' and datacentres is the monopolization of information, where the few have stolen content produced by the many only to sell it back to you through ad-revenue or subscriptions.
