This is really sad. Google wants in on China, so these kinds of things build "good will"(??) for Google with China government.
However, it is most unfortunate for the video authors as most alternatives are practically useless(for intent):
- filled with spam, fake news, fluff[1]
- no audience[2]
- no moderation[3]
[1] is due to [3] as moderation is tough. The important videos need [2] to have maximum outreach, but due to [1], they get mixed up and dismissed as other conspiracy theories posted on most alternatives that YT kicked out. Building a proper audience for alternatives is tough, as there is no momentum.
We live in a dystopia already, to average joe, internet is FB, Google, TikTok(?), Instagram, Twitter, Whatsapp, Skype, Chrome and those few government websites they need to fill forms now and then. The monopoly capital has been built, people are now stuck. We have plenty great alternatives, but first mover's momentum is of epic proportions.
