Money laundering is nothing novel for silicon valley. They just are doing it on a whole new level so bad that it’s even more obvious. This is how they keep their stocks inflated.

Please provide a non BigTech alternative, ideally with a way to donate to the content creator.

I’m interested but I literally can’t watch it. I don’t have a YouTube account, nor a Google one, and the video is not viewable without.

I just watched it using Newpipe, no account was required.

I typically use yt-dlp youtube-local and it usually works… but that is not the point. The point is that it is not sustainable to rely on platforms we do not want to support. I’m glad it works for you though, feel free to share a mirror if you can.

I tried finding the yewtu.be link but it refuses to work, not sure why yewtu.be/watch?v=CBCujAQtdfQ

Don’t know, but other three Invidious instances listed on redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=CBCujAQtdfQ seem to work.

Thanks but doesn’t seem to work, 1st link 403, 2nd link no play button (and download is audio only), 3rd link loads but never plays, 4th link doesn’t play at all and download doesn’t work. Again I appreciate alternatives but IMHO sharing YouTube links, so BigTech links, on Lemmy isn’t great. We should rely on federated alternatives for videos too.

Edit: I did disable JS Shelter just for this (because of Anubis, ironically enough based on the video content!) but it still didn’t work. So to be honest even if it did work (which it didn’t) it would still not be great.

Are you behind a double NAT? I’m behind a double NAT and invidious/newpipe seem to be breaking on me most of the time, sometimes even the day a hotfix drops.

This feels we’re going to get a movie like The Big Short in a few years time. “The Big Hallucination” or something.

Great title for it.
