I've applied to multiple offerings from these folks and never hear back.

    Musk is one of the biggest conmen and fascists in the world, and as of his tweet today, he knowingly worked with a pedophile, while bringing his own 4 year old around him all the time.

    Stop worshipping the absolute worst pieces of shit in the world.

    He wants to reach as large an audience as possible, and being perfectly principled isn't the way to go. Self-hosted platforms are great if you want to preach to the choir.

      I'm not saying there aren't benefits or that it doesn't work. Sometimes people have to buy self-help books about not shopping or eat more food to lose weight. It's still ironic.

    He is talking about owning the things you purchase with your money. LIke say you buy a device but you are not allowed to repair it or upgrade it, you "buy" a piece of software but you do not actually own it or have any rights on it.

    it doesn't seem like they care very much about owning videos, the irony would be more if they rented a tractor to drive up to your house and explain the issue.

    What's ironic about using a reliable, free platform to reach your 2.2 million subscribers with what would otherwise be a difficult and expensive to distribute video?

    • Morizero 2 hours ago

      I don't think you understand irony. Announcing a campaign for ownership via an outlet you don't own is ironic. Read the definition. Irony is not a comment on the campaign's actual or potential efficacy.

        It would not be ironic to distribute your ownership-promoting materials through the mail while not owning the post office. There is nothing about YouTube that reduces a creator's stake in their video.

        • Morizero an hour ago

          There's some key differences there. 1, the post office doesn't keep your material on hand so people can visit and consume it. 2, you have to pay the post office each transaction. 3, the post office is taxpayer subsidized and administered by elected officials.

          Again, I did not say what they are doing is bad, wrong, or whatever.

    He's primarily about "right to repair" physical things, not so much self-hosting videos. I think its an important message and he has really spent an enormous amount of time and resources on it and I don't know if he has gotten much benefit from it other than, arguably, publicity.
