"you reek of pseudo-intellectual. youre just another ugly slut that uses the title of gamer girl to attract all the omega autists of the world.
I hope you get raped and beaten in front of the person you love the most in this world."

This is what it's like being a woman on the internet, by the way. This is an unprovoked comment I got on my youtube channel where I'd post content about videogames and computers. This was by no means a rare occurrence.

@WelshPixie Personally, I would consider using a platform that doesn't thrive economically on abuse.

I myself generally avoid YouTube/Google and other advertisement companies that make more money for every new person (including assholes) that "use" (gets used) by their disservices.

You're very welcome to publish your videos outside of the capitalists' control. If you want video hosting tips, I'm sure the !fediverse is full of helpful people. .)

@bob @cwebber @mmn It's less about just hosting and more about the community engagement and monetisation that YT has. At the time it was a valuable source of income for me that let us pay bills easier. It's not as simple, for many people, as having the choice to host elsewhere.
