  • Security is not a state but a scale, and is gauged against everything else.

    From the perspective of a privacy / security zealot, a smartphone is SOL as soon as they lave the factory, as not only not even OTA updates keep them safe (and you can argue that with some manufacturers such as Samsung, OTA does is the primary risk vector!) but they can eg.: ship with unfixable vulns at the hardware level that would lead to ditch the whole thing anyway.

    So long as there isn’t something like a state-funded program for citizens to renew their phones every ~2 years for fully open ones, I’d not worry much. After all, the other option would be not using a phone because current ones are a PITA and just as vulnerable from the other end.

    It’s certainly and obviously not, but:

    • YT is not anywhere near the “literal only possible way”. Heck, air TV still exists!
    • even tho it isn’t, I don’t see you nor anyone acting to that extent, instead you go on a self-defeatist-for-everyone attitude.

    Does Youtube have a monopoly and network effect? Sure, absolutely, and someone’s gotta correct that. But it’s not a complete monopoly in the sense of “if you don’t eat you die”. If the main supermarket in the area doesn’t like me because “boobs” or something, I can still go to a minimarket.

    …Look, you really get tiresome. I’d ask if you are fine but honestly you are not my problem. If you need serotonin or something, get you seen; don’t try to drain mine.

    Unless they want it to be possible that people see their content.

    That’s what the airwaves are for.

    But no, really, Youtube is neither that open nor that essential that the people not there are Somehow Invisible on the Internet. And even if that was somehow the case, you actually don’t need to upload video, you can just use a normal youtube account to comment and link your content wherever relevant “conversations” lead there.
