I'm surprised every time I see people posting YouTube videos on Mastodon. I keep forgetting it's not a commonly entertained notion that algorithmic, manipulative billionaire media should be avoided.

YouTube is not a public utility, even if people, incl government agencies, like to pretend it is. (Great job with the lobbying). It's a money machine for foreign billionaires with questionable ideology and the power, through their algorithms, to decide what our world view will be.

There aren't many videos available on other platforms. And quite a few people in the Fediverse use:

and for that, you need the original link.

well, then you can make the video available on #mastodon.

download it from #youtube (or #x, #instagram, #facebook, or whatever) and share it here, for example with #ytdlp or #tubular.
