I have somewhere around 3,000 videos on 3speak. The total I have on YouTube is zero.
In this video I discuss why I do this. It relates to the Web 3.0 concept along with data/AI training. This is something that is vital for people to consider.

I make a strong effort to not use YT as much as possible, as well as any other product of alphabet because of their insidious nature and practices. We have to empower and spread the use of the alternatives if we hope to make a dent in the giants. I think we are doing a good job, we just need to keep it up!
Tough to avoid Google like other mega tech.
It is tough but it's possible with persistence :D
Van Halen to Nat King Cole... Boy that's a stretch, even for the YouTube algo, lol.
Yet I saw it happen. So yeah even their years of algo tuning isnt perfect.
Dang, lol. That's some variety, lol.
You do make some really good points. I have done the whole, 'oh it's good for marketing' thing myself, and yeah, hasn't worked. Actually I think the YouTube algorithm will shadow ban you for talking about other platforms now, so it's really not even worth it. I have also been using the Ecency front end allot more these days and they have the video capabilities using SPK network too, so it makes for an extra interface to upload videos too. Plus people forget that 3Speak is tied into the Podcasting 2.0 network, so your stuff is out there too.
I am really on the cusp of just getting rid of at least X and YouTube. For my new business (non-crypto related), Instagram and Facebook are actually really getting me some attention there so I guess I need to keep those around. But X and YT get me virtually no attention and are more of a time suck than anything. Plus like you say, it's giving those platform more content that can now be scrapped by AI.
Something I hadnt considered but you could be absolutely correct on that. It would not surprise me.
YouTube is expanding and growing rapidly but not in the social video realm. That is going to get attacked as Rumble and other options open up. Their growth is coming because they are taking on the cable companies and catering to the cord cutters.
More independent platforms the better in my opinion. I am basically about to make the move off of all web 2 social networks myself aside from my new 3D printing business. For the rest I of my stuff, it’s just not worth the time to even mess with them anymore.
I agree. We have the added layer now of AI/LLMs and big tech back in the drivers seat.
We need to start the process there. Independent and non Silicon Valley stuff is where the focus needs to be.
3D printing is an interesting realm and something that will alter the future. Moving towards the replicator from Star Trek.
Yeah, that's why I am putting so much focus into it. It's opening up a whole new industry. Basically the counter culture to modern manufacturing. I am all about anything counter culture, lol.
That is true although I think it will be mainstream.
We are going to see it adopted in many ways. But like many technologies, it does distribute the ability to manufacture albeit in the early days now.
It may be one day for sure, which is fine, I just want to be in on the early end of the trend, lol. That and if you can make as much stuff as possible on your own, you have less dependence and on the corporate system.
I respect you putting into action what you preach. While I do think the public availability of these videos make it so they can still be used by big companies for AI training, making them work for it, and allowing other companies like LEO AI to use it is good.
Certainly that is true also although I am not sure how many smaller companies are into video training at this point.
But it all pulls from the traditional system...one video at a time.
