I like when big powerful companies get fucked in ass by bigger more powerful companies after ignoring our warnings about companies getting too big and too powerful
lol gotta love it “we take copyright very seriously” haha no you fucking don’t, you take negotiating leverage very seriously.
Meanwhile, every salty sailor who long ago gave up on the notion that these giant companies will ever play fair, already has every version of every performance they like, and if there’s something missing, can get it easily without having to rely on the likes of YouBoob “allowing it.” We started making our own rules long ago after being fucked for the thousandth time.
Sometimes, you even get to watch a pre-roll ad before you see the message.
I can't wait to see this site die. Are there any fediverse alternatives? Must be a rough thing, I couldn't fathom how much storage it'd take
