- Embed this notice> You may not know this, but you actually have to dox yourself to post videos longer than 15 minutes long (unless they changed that). You have to send them a picture of a credit card, or maybe a driver's license, to remove that limitation.
Never had to deal with that, because I joined in early 2006 (so I was one of the earliest adaptors in Asia as a whole), right before the 10 minute limitation was imposed, and they launched the Director programme which lets you remove that limitation, and all you had to do was just ask.
Half year later they deleted that programme, but those who already joined were still allowed to keep the privileage of uploading up to 4 hours of video instead of just 11 minutes (officially it was 10, but they actually let you upload up to 11 minutes).
Then in 2010 they raised 10 (11) to 15 (15:30) minutes, and then they just removed it completely soon after.
But I think they didn't require a dox back then, so no idea when they started requiring it.

I'd rather just write my own software and serve .ogv files.
Oh wait, I do: http://ryocinema.i2p/
> there are two different internets
I'll count:
1. Clearnet.
2. Tor.
3. I2P.
4. Zeronet.
5. Freenet.
6. IPFS.
7. Lokinet.
And some more.
I don't count Gemini and Gopher, simply because they're not separate internets, they're protocols going over the already existing internets.
> making YouTube their "career",
Which is a massive mistake they're making.
At most it should have been just a side job which you do alongside your day job.
It's only a matter of time when they get deplatformed, demonetized, or otherwise simply lose their popularity.
The average give a fuckness span of your average JewTuber is only 4 years, and perhaps up to 2 years of climax, until eventually the new kid takes over.
Only PewDiePie and Hikakin get to enjoy long term popularity, but perhaps these 2 are very deeply in bed with JewTube anyway.
Not even their predecessors (NigaHiga and Smosh) and their predecessor (Fred) were able to keep their popularity up for this long!
