It’s all FOSS. Whoever gets doubts about the devs can check the source or have it checked by experts. They sell out or die? Switch to other frontends or forks. I’d never trust any dev blindly, but if I can choose between these ones and Google… well.
Switched to piped/invidious. There are even a few good apps like Libretube or Freetube. No need to waste time with scripts and stuff.
Just what I would have said. We’re already too many in this little space.
True. Facts won’t change their views, no matter how much research went into it.
And even if they somehow end up being in the same spot as the “test subjects”, it’s other people’s fault - preferably easily identifiable targets like minorities. Zero empathy, massive ego.
This. The more popular it gets, the more people come, the more trolls and idiots are beneath them, the more toxic everything gets…
Advertisements and fake news will also skyrocket once the user bases are big enough to become adequate breeding grounds for them.
Sure, it’s not as convenient as just licensing something out of the box. But at least you won’t get ripped off like this just because the one person in charge feels free to do whatever the fuck he or she wants.
The problem isn’t Unity, or even its CEO. The problem is greed. The problem is; they can dictate whatever they want because everyone depends on them. Use FOSS already. You should have done it long before this happened.
Makes sense. Best way to push even more product placements on us.
When I still used YouTube it recommended me crap I could hardly have cared less about or even things I actually disliked.
To me, Youtube was always synonymous for faulty algorithms.

I just blocked the user in question as well as the whole community.
Don’t know if it’s the first time for this to happen, but I’m pretty sure it’s not the last. Especially now that it’s discussed, some trolls will board the train and do it, too.
Even just the slightest risk of some shit like this turning up on my feed is an absolute no-go.
Doom, Wolfenstein 3D and Elite back in the mid-90s. Jagged Alliance 2 and Fallout 2 a few years later got me finally hooked.
I guess then we have to agree to disagree.
