 Today is April 25th, 2021, and two years ago today, I uploaded my first ever video to this YouTube channel. The title was simply YouTube, and it was a meta-video criticizing and analyzing the platform. But if you go back and watch this video and pay very, very close attention, you'll notice something. The video is not exactly very good. Now, yes, it has original drawings, the writing is okay, but the editing is very crude, and the audio quality is completely potato tier. So, I don't think it's extremely preposterous to say that my videos have gotten better over that two-year period. However, despite being a billion-dollar corporation with essentially unlimited funding and unlimited capabilities of products, and also being one of, if not the biggest, single data computing and analytics company in the entire world, Google has done literally nothing to improve YouTube in these last two years. How is it possible that two years from then, I'm still talking about the exact same issues with YouTube? Everything, from those awful children's channels to Hollywood Incorporations being prioritized over individual people. It's been two years, and it's only really getting worse. I've already gotten an unjust strike on this website for making a video on YouTube DL. And now, every time I upload a video, even about something completely innocent like YouTube DL, I'm in fear that it's gonna get stricken down. As said before, ever since my first video, I've been doing better editing my videos, the audio quality is better, and they generally are an improvement. This is because I care about my videos, both on a personal level and for the people who watch them. And unlike most people who make videos on this website, YouTube just doesn't care. They only really care about two things, and that's public relations and profit, mostly because the latter affects the former. And because they're a monopoly, it's not like their incentive for profit actually leads to them improving the product in the face of competition. And that's why two years after the original video where I talk about why YouTube sucks, I want to reiterate that YouTube sucks. So I beg to you, unbended knees, please stop supporting this company and watch my videos on alternative platforms. It's the most effective way to get this company to stop screwing people over unjustly. Because not only are you redirecting internet traffic from YouTube to a different platform like my Odyssey channel or my Peartube instance, you're also gaining access to an uncensored feed of my videos. On Odyssey, my single most viewed video is a video that got stricken down from YouTube. So if you're gonna take away one thing from this video, it's to please stop watching my videos on YouTube and watch them on Odyssey and my Peartube instead. Odyssey especially has proved itself the single most competent video sharing website I've ever used. It pays more than YouTube through views and donations, it's actually got new features being added to it every month, and most importantly, you don't get taken down for making a video on YouTube DL. So yeah, happy two-year channel anniversary to me. I wonder if the channel will even still be around for the three-year anniversary.
