HTML5's <video> tag should've killed YouTube. Part of the reason why YouTube got so popular was because people were tired of having to install multiple plug-ins just to watch videos. Some websites required Windows Media Player, others required QuickTime, others required Flash, others required RealPlayer. YouTube, using a flash-based video player at the time allowed pretty much anyone to watch their videos because almost every Internet user had Adobe Flash installed.
YouTube's legal team has demanded that privacy-focused frontend alternative to YouTube, #Invidious, cease offering their client within seven days.

No random open source application, I do not want to join your Discord channel for support.

I hate wokeness, but parents should not be including children in their political activism. Especially when facing off against violent groups like #Antifa.
Having children anywhere near #Antifa is pure, concentrated foolishness.

I've never used Reddit, but I don't get how people can still defend it at this point.
>Used to be (mostly) open-source, but closed it's source code back in 2017
>Used to be free speech friendly until around 2015 when they started banning subs like /r/FatPeopleHate
>Is known to be a cesspool for center-to-far-left, atheist, hipster, "I LOVE SCIENCE", consumer types
>Karma and gold creates groupthink and elitism

I really hope that the site crashes and burns like Digg, but the site is more popular than Digg ever was. However, I am happy that this is receiving massive backlash, at the very least I hope it severely cripples them.
In the meantime, if you want to host your own communities, get an actual forum. Hosting is dirt cheap and auto-installers make hosting forums easy. And people still use forums, btw. Dwarf Fortress has always had their main discussions on their own forums and they are still active to this very day.
