The Problem with Tech Media: Ego, Dogmatism, and Cult of Personality
yewtu.be
The rise of tech media on YouTube brings about new problems that have never widely occurred before in the tech media space. Steve from GN highlights a few, but I expose a few more, as well as give a detailed analysis on the words underlying the recent reports. This video is not monetized, but that's beside the point, as you'll see.

      Bruh, it’s federated. Go take that issue with the owner of that server. I don’t care, I only use that name because the only other instances I could remember the name of, were offline within a week, or are constantly flaky…

        You replied to someone taking issue in that and providing the platforms correct link, where the video was posted. The user is able to use the native app. If you want to pipe a video, then ignore yewtube instead of deflecting.

          For what’s it’s worth i use new pipe and it doesn’t understand the alternative link, I had to parse the url by hand. By offering the canonical link I intended for people to be able to use whatever workflow they are comfortable with without manual intervention.

          Be that newpipe, browser JavaScript url rewriters, etc
