Why begin with YouTube? Because they’re the worst censors.

I dunno, twatter does a pretty good job.

Rand Paul continues to impress. I hope more and more on the right abandon big tech. It is past time.

My 2 DILs, an adult grand daughter and I will still use UTube to make household repairs or to repair whatever:

We save $100’s by not calling a repair person. We let each other know when we have a success.

Now another female U Tuber user is joining our small group. She is like a sister to my wife and I. She is married to an engineer but like many engineers, he is totally worthless and lazy when it comes to doing things around their home. So she, 2 adult grandsons and one incredible grand daughter with Utube and collective brain power can do about anything to repair or correct a home problem.

They may be even more conservative than I am.

Really Rand, get your own website, that’s the way it should be. If your fans want to download your content and put it on Youtube or anywhere else, let them.

Heh. I deleted my 3 channels 1/20/20 - the day of the installation.

Heads up tip... Been on top of this for awhile now as a developer. Rumble is the platform to support. Contact everyone you follow on Youtube and tell them you are done and they need to move to Rumble.

There is no way they can lose if they also post their stuff over at Rumble. It is good business to sell your wares at two market places. Be foolish not to.

It would be interesting to quantify how much political content there is on YT...I’m guessing its a pretty small percentage.

As John McClane famously said:

“WELCOME TO THE PARTY PAuL”

I quit contributing to my youtube channel (mostly firearms stuff) a few years ago. Was finally able to delete it completely a year or so ago.

Don’t even go there for ‘How To’ videos anymore.

With my posts I welcome criticism because I can’t always be correct. The YouTuber should at the least not get upset over wacky criticisms. Most of those who appreciate his posts won’t ever reply

I respect Sen. Paul for taking this stand. That said, my recommendation is to keep a presence on YouTube, if for no other reason than to reach their audience as well as you can. Operating behind enemy lines is a good thing.

Of course, no one should be putting all of their social media eggs in Gargle, F-Book, or Twaddle's baskets. Diversify your social media presence so that losing any one of them doesn't do much harm.

I tried watching a “mainstream” you tube video without my adblocking computer. It was horrible. Ads ever 2 minutes.

If it wasn’t for a few car repair videos or some software tutorials I’d not be on it at all. The new services carry the more philosophical lectures I enjoy. Screw youtube.

I hear you. I find I am moderated in the comments section. Way it goes. No good places to find 75% of the non political content. Like music videos, music shows, concerts, old sports broadcasts and games, how to videos, tech videos, and more.
