Eli missed to mention that VOAT was filled with QAnon idiots and advertisers simply pulled out from that shit site
Thepennsyl.com
18:40 I payed like 35$ to host this site.
I still think this platform is valuable for learning, I use YouTube frequently for better understanding programming concepts, or brushing up quickly on some mathematics I haven't done for awhile.
I never heard of voat until now.
Someone needs to build a troll bait website. There are plenty of people that do nothing but shitpost on various systems. So, basically, have an integrated messenging system that works with all of the services, and come up with a silly version of a name that tells people what it does. People could log in to one place to shit-post on all of their favorite platforms.
By having a unified platform, you drive up traffic, then ad monetize with targeted ads, and just make that internet money. 🤣
The platform is literally just Reddit with the N word hard R
People hate youtube. And they go to bitchute or rumble. Not lbry.
This clickbait title is dumpster tier. Voat was a bastion of free expression and meritocraticly oriented scrutinization. Reddit is a heavily monetized, heavily moderated, heavily censored, corporate imposter.
Take a shot everytime he says pegged
The memory of your failed martial arts master comes to my mind!
never heard of it
I wish I could like this video multiple time! This is by far the best video on your channel in a long time!
Voat ??? Goat ????
Never heard of …
Network effect. It's why Bitcoin is winning.
Never heard of Voat or Library till now.
I wish it had lasted into the Biden era. More draconian censorship is coming
I really wonder if this is the formula:
People that don't like Facebook, use Twitter.
People that don't like Twitter, use Facebook.
extra trouble is that alot of people who are using these platforms aren't tech savvy
they just only know how to mindlessly click to do something, i think one good way to introduce a new platform is to pay people to use and advertise it, literally paying a team of people to use the platform and letting the social proof effect take place
Damn dude i regarded you as a highly intelligent person that was until today. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about regarding VOAT maybe you should just stick to making tutorial vids.
I would listen to you off of youtube if you provided a direct download for podcasts. That is how I normally get my content. But you are on these sites that don't let me do direct downloads.
Google didn't fail, they had other priorities.
yeah, sure . Then Facebook should not exist. We should all be on Myspace
That is why larger corporations buy the successful smaller ones. Youtube is the most important assets of alphabet behind google search.
The power of Network Effects.
2 years ago I checked out VOAT because of the reddit gun community. The majority of the website was full of racist posts and questionable NSFW images. Turned back and never came back to it.
Voat had allot of the pizza gate info back when that was a thing.
Bitchute is looking promising. Vimeo is still alive somehow.
What's everyone's thoughts on Peertube?
i think there is a lot of value in YouTube and Reddit. I think it comes down to how the individual uses the platform. For example, if I have a niche issue/question, you better believe there is a subreddit dedicated to it which helps a beginner like me.
This is the first I heard of Voat, or Vidme. A lot can be learned from Bing vs Google. Key point is the same with mobile apps, it's all about marketing. MS proved that when they paid to have Windows pre-installed on machines. Once you get to a point, it's damn hard for someone to know you off. That's why we're on YouTube, not Vinmo/VidMe or whatever else. It's why WinPhone and WebOS aren't a thing. It's also why FaceBook doesn't own SnapChat.
They could have advertised to the Trump folks.. The problem would be the logo though. Goat is literally associated with satanism.
Also, seems to me that the current websites (YouTube, Facebook, twitter) have a monopoly status, if their competition can't break the entrance barrier. Maybe Trump is right and Section 230 should be reinterpreted.
Yep, I don't think Seddit will survive either but reddit is MAD annoying. Banning subs they don't agree with. You think I care about what gets posted on r/thedonald or r/whitebeauty? As long as people aren't getting hurt or creating victims like the late r/pedofriends, who cares? Don't freaking delete a sub because you disagree.
Last I heard YouTube is losing money or barely profiting. That's with more than a billion views per day. Can't say I'm following its profitability, so don't hold me to my assertion.
What you were saying sounds like a drug addict being offered a new addiction the moment they decide to go clean.
Of course they gotta have fucking satanic goat symbolism… oligarchs probably created it and killed it on purpose to try and say "dont bother"
I try to use alternatives sites to youtube, but only a few Youtuber's are actually using it and uploading on it frequently, so I quickly run out of content on it then come right back to Youtube, what choice do I have? It's a vicious cycle. Creators don't want to leave Youtube because all of viewers(all of the money) are on youtube. Viewers can't leave Youtube because all of the content is on Youtube. It's not that we don't want to leave, it's that we are trapped.
Now realistically if we wanted a real alternative and wanted change it would honestly be up to the creators because it would be a hell of a lot easier for the much smaller number of content creators to communicate with each other and come up with a plan and all leave at the same time to another site(or at least upload all of their content on both Youtube and an alternative website, that way they don't have to risk their livelyhood). Comparatively to how difficult it would be for all viewers to band together, organize and leave, well that's practically impossible, so it's up to the content creators to do it if they want change.
Eli, bow down to the algorithm and continue to put out only videos that talk about how we need to fear Covid, how orange man bad and of course, pegging.
The issue with Voat that I had was that it was FAR to easy for a person with an agenda to run people off the site. And getting back on again wasn't just as simple as creating a new account
Problem with these "free speech platforms" is that they only cater to the victims of a specific set of dramas.
So rather than an alternative reddit, its just a temporary pissing ground for people who are still mad about gamergate or the banning of fatpeoplehate.
It's an awkward spot between reddit and 4chan, and it was hated by both the average 4chan AND average Reddit user. It was bound to fail.
