youtube autodub is fucking terrible and i hate it so fucking much. there is hardly anything of value being posted to the site anymore. so thinking it might be time to bite the bullet and stop using yt the only social media site i still use. denpas who still post on yt, consider internet archive or some other alt vidhost, and using blog posts to point at specific "important" videos, or hell even here, because shit's fucked.

>>3 n0 was right about something which is published on Youtube cannot be as punk as something independent due to the nature of the platform. As far as I can tell, the whole reason why denpas still upload to Youtube is due to storage space, which might be right, as no platform has as much storage capacity as Youtube. My point would be, however, that videos are just a bad format for information. Parsing them computationally is a pain in the ass and requires sophisticated AI tools owned by megacorpos to even work, unlike text which can be parsed with a Raspberry PI zero. Furthermore, the format is not very efficient in transporting information if you consider file sizes. The only reason why videos are so prevalent as opposed to text is because, even the more informative ones, are still more entertaining than reading text, at least for most people. There are even more advantages to text. For instance, it's very hard to implement DRM for text, plain text is as free as a format can get. Everybody can read it, copy it, share it, modify it, and do whatever they want with it. Editing a video requires an elaborate hardware and software setup and often you cannot just append or modify a video like you would with text. It's not just Youtube that's the problem, it's the format of videos as a whole.
