Apparently my Fedi promo video is giving error messages on YouTube (shocker).

So I just logged on YouTube Studio for the first time in months to see what's going on... and found some interesting comments.

I'm not caffeinated enough to deliver zingers but I hope my response was adequate.

On the upside, I also saw a few comments of people who set up new accounts here, so yay.

As for the unplayable problem: no clue. But this is why I LOVE #PeerTube and on my website I'm using the PeerTube embed

A comment by a user that says: "Elena, congratulations on exposing yourself as the villain(cause) of all this. I genuinely hope big tech buys the Fediverse. I love how how everyone, here and big tech are going to lose." My response below: "Joke's on you because the entire point of the Fediverse is that it's made up of thousand of independent servers... it's basically billionaire-proof, nobody can buy it. Sure a billionaire could technically set up their own server but it would take seconds for people to defederate from it. That's what I love about the Fediverse: by the people, for the people, you're in control"

@_elena #YouTube has become more and more problematic throwing error messages for all sorts of reasons. Most things i watch are there given the sheer amount and variety of content vs. Peertube.

I use #FreeTube and at times have to change #VPN connections in order to watch videos, at times some will only open in a browser.

It's definitely a hot mess. I wish #Peertube were a viable alternative for more than just #foss stuff but alas, it's not even close for most of what people watch/want.

The German federal government currently pays €481 million in licensing fees to #Microsoft every year.

I'm sure @zendis could build some nice stuff with half the money and make it available for everybody else to re-use.
