     Maybe it's not her real account? If it is really her, did this retarded bitch recently switch sides on this kind of issue? I remember her bitching about women's asses in games last time she was remotely relevant.

     @djsumdog @kabo @MaleGoddess she knows feminists are behind this, this is the natural conclusion of what she was saying, she doesn't realize this because she is not smart

     @djsumdog @MaleGoddess @kabo I don't think she has even a cursory knowledge of what is happening, steam can still sell porn games, it still sells a lot of them. because of feminists she is perfectly aligned with, they are removing games that contain violence against women, games that play with consent, incest games etc.

     I wonder where those games will go now. Lost to piracy sites, or will a new store arise that only transacts in crypto?

     @djsumdog @kabo @MaleGoddess if youtube didn't exist, 99% of youtube's content wouldn't migrate to peertube, it would disappear because it only exists because of convenient distribution. the games will disappear

     There is PreserveTube and a lot on archive.org, but it's probably less than 5% of the total YouTube. I yt-dlp a lot of videos. My youtube folder alone has 443 GB (~ 20% of which is now unavailable last time I checked).

     I'm trying to post more rare stuff on torrents that may not exist anywhere else (CDs from bands that never made it, indie movies that never saw a big release, etc.). But when YouTube and Archive.org burn down, it'll be like the Library of Alexandria.

     ..and no one is getting any of my rare stuff. All my hard drives are encrypted. My nephew will inherit a ton of metal.

     When did monetization even start? Like 2008? There were years where people uploaded so much stuff because it was fun, not because they wanted to make money. :gummysad:

     Back in my day, we uploaded stuff we stole, so other people could steal it too. We did ask for money. We just wanted other people to acknowledge that we were good at stealing shit. That's the way it was and we liked it.

     I have a feeling that Google was subsidizing a lot of that monetization. There's no way people who were getting 20k~50k view per video were pulling in as much ad revenue as they were getting paid out. Google probably thought they would eventually build the ad costs up or lower payout gradually, but advertiser and market pressures probably led to the "ad-pocalypse," long before the mass channel bans of 2020.

     @djsumdog @kabo @MaleGoddess @sun It actually started in early 2007, but most users were still doing it for fun. It wasn't until the recession really kicked in that people started searching for monetization as an income source, especially seeing how randos like Pewdiepie, JonTron and AngryJoe were getting popular and absolutely destroying professional journalism websites in views.
     
     Maybe without the recession things would have gone much slower? I dunno, but doubt it, there were million of early zoomed kids looking for idols already
