I really can't wrap! My head around as to why Adam keeps shiting on rumble!?
And no, European don't avoid iPhone because they can't afford it. We avoid it because we don't like the concept of apple.
And no, Google is not the only option to apple.
If I got a free iPhone I would give it away.
I rather keep using my vollaphone with a broken screen until it dies on me. And then I'll get some other de-googled phone and not an iPhone.
Adam thinks any organization of human industry that doesn't benefit him with prestige and profit is an op.
@PNS@noauthority.social @EvolLove@noauthority.social but is Rumble doing ads now? I just dont like when a platform starts everything free then it rug pulls and says now you get ads or pay for ad free. But the advertisers always censor the platform some how.
I get that. But I also get backlisted products and companies being able advertise again, so there's that.
Adam is not a team player. Simple as.
@dictatordave @cbrooklyn112 @EvolLove @PNS
It's not the ads per se, it's all the tracking links for google and other ad companies. it's the centralization making them inherrently vulnerable to DDOS attacks. It's the clear enshitification process well underway. It's the venture capital funded unsustainable creator contracts.
Rumble is suss as hell.
@errhead @dictatordave @cbrooklyn112 @PNS
No that is Youtube not rumble.
YT links has that shit in them, rumble doesn't. Unless you have some crappy google product browser that put's it there anyways.
rumble is fighting tooth and nail against big tech and censorship. Giving a voice for everyone that was censored on Youtube.
And they have been able to grow faster and make better profit on rumble.
Constantly shitting on rumble but never shitting on YT?
Makes me fckng wonder I mean WTF!?
@EvolLove @dictatordave @cbrooklyn112 @PNS
>YT links has that shit in them, rumble doesn't. Unless you have some crappy google product browser that put's it there anyways.
Anyone can see from the network traffic in theier browser when using Rumble that is demonstrably untrue (see attached example for the normies)
>Constantly shitting on rumble but never shitting on YT?
? YT is farther along the enshitification path, but Rumble is clearely following along behind.
@errhead @dictatordave @cbrooklyn112 @PNS
rumble has nothing to do with YT
Google bought YT.
Google had chricis meetings when Donald Trump won the election in 2016.
People were breaking down crying on the hallways.
They had meetings, brainstorming about what they would do to make sure that Trump never won another election.
And they even brag about it openly.
Don't compare YT with rumble. Try to see the overall picture.
Who censored doctors worldwide during Convid?
YT is Marxist swirl
@dictatordave @cbrooklyn112 @errhead @PNS
I don't know. I think people in general are underestimating the influence google has.
But now we have rumble and X so google and fb no longer control what people can and can not say anymore.
Perhaps thins will be different this time?
@dictatordave @cbrooklyn112 @EvolLove @PNS
> i'm more of an odysee fan
Odysee also includes tracking links to google, as does bitchute
All of these sites are tied to google's tracking and selling the viewers out. The only one's who don't are PeerTube and paywalled sites like https://unauthorized.tv/
> not care about the content people put up in general so that's rad
The free Speech policies of @graf (https://poast.tv/) are far superior to the corporate grifters at Rumble and odysee
@dictatordave @cbrooklyn112 @EvolLove @PNS @graf
>trust me i'm all for making shit harder for corporations to make a buck off me, but at some point, you're not going to win
I've coded multiple plugins for PeerTube for monetization, podcast player compatibility, and strengthening the back end torrent distribution network, I also run ~dozen federated servers. I'm patient, I just point out the pointlessness of trusting the latest "free speech wing of the internet" corporate bullshit for fun.
@errhead @dictatordave @cbrooklyn112 @PNS @graf
I think you are focusing on the wrong things.
If you want free platforms then you are the product, simple as that.
Me? I pay for a working search engine, Kagi Search, instead of thinking that good things are free.
I would gladly pay rumble a fee to opt out of the ads. It is not a problem for me because I don't believe in free stuff.
rumble has done more for free speech than any other platforms or individuals so far. So why the negativity?
@graf @cbrooklyn112 @errhead @PNS @dictatordave
oh here comes the troll bye bye
I think it is funny that you think Elon Musk is the CEO of rumble.
@Humpleupagus @cbrooklyn112 @EvolLove @PNS @errhead @dictatordave @graf it's free as in speech, not free like beer. oh, wait.
