Another member of the intellectual dark web has jumped into the world of tech development to circumvent censorship.
Dave Rubin, host of the popular podcast and YouTube show The Rubin Report, announced on September 3 that he was launching a beta for his new tech company and that his show would be joining The Blaze TV. The company, which was started six months ago, has invented an app that will eventually allow creators to essentially “create your own terms of service,” according to Rubin. Rubin plans on inviting his subscribers to test the beta this week.
On the latest episode of the Rubin Report, guest host Glenn Beck, founder of The Blaze, asked Rubin about his new tech company. The host responded that he had been talking to YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki after a Google whistleblower, former engineer Zach Vorhies, revealed to Project Veritas that Rubin was one of the people being censored by YouTube.
Apparently, after hours spent talking with the YouTube CEO over video chat and in Silicon Valley, Rubin said, “I got no answers to any of the questions that I asked.” He said that he learned that all YouTube had become was “a search engine. This is not a place for thought to flourish anymore.”
However, instead of getting the government involved, Rubin did “what he thought was the right thing,” which was to start his own company as a response. He plans to use the app in development for his show first, “then we’re going to give everybody their own app.”...

Good luck on that.
Google will decontent his YouTube site. Refuse to allow his app on Google Play and basically screw him over.
And if he does have a successful produce, they will simply write a check and buy it.
Rubin is not an idiot. I doubt that you will find it put up on Google Play, and by word of mouth....it’ll have a million users within 60 days.
It’s not a YouTube-killer, but it might shift a third of all ‘channel’ people over and lessen content on YouTube.
As for buying it....Google might eventually offer up half-a-billion, but by that point....users will have figured out the basic way it functions, and dozens of people will copy-cat the software with their own variations. That’s all people needed....their own avenues to package and produce their own videos.
Alternatives to YouTube have been around for a while. I especially like this one: https://joinpeertube.org/en/
PeerTube is crowdsourced bandwidth - those who watch also upload to others. Which means the more popular the video gets, the greater the bandwidth hosting it is.
The big differences are lack of censorship, and lack of monetization and lack of traction. Like with gab.ai, these are surmountable differences.
