Okay? But you can apply that logic anywhere to anything. Its also a "frightful gamble" that Google needs Microsofts and Apples blessing to operate on their platform. They have intrinsically tied themselves to a particular company's product. They also need Cisco's blessing for routing their packets. The default configuration of all of these products could be to ban google's products and services because they spy on their users or -insert-other-privacy-rationale-. I don't think just because you use and depend on another companies product that you should expect them to be malicious towards you.
- anbop 7y agoBut Google has the resources to fight Apple and Microsoft, in the markets and in the courts, if denied a level playing field in a way that is illegal or bad optics. YouTube content creators, and content creators in general, have no defense against this since the big aggregation companies like YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram have market power over hundreds of millions of creators instead of just a few powerhouses.
- la_barba 7y agoI fully agree. I'm just pushing back against the sentiment of shitting on the little guy, because of a personal opinion that what this person is doing is vapid or devoid of value to me.
