Less bigfoot/illuminati/The Greys are working with the Jewish Jesuits to keep gold prices down crap. Pretty much Movie/TV Reviews and conservative vloggers.

I quit YouTube last night. I couldn't stand it any longer.

I've had a bitchute account for a while but haven't used it because it was glitchy. I went on last night and there was all of the insanity YouTube used to be. Watched a couple old favorite characters. I have to go find the rest of my favorite old characters. They had disappeared off of YouTube lately.

I'm going to have to give it a try. Can you share some links to some good channels/ commentators?

That being said, I love Cranks of the old "UFOs are Real" documentary type.

For the past 3 years, I've been reminiscing about how amazing the internet was 20 years ago. It's devolved into a pile of stupid social media videos/posts, fabricated media stories, and orwelian overlords deleting and censoring free discourse. Meanwhile, there clearly was a coordinated effort to reduce discourse by nearly every media site "temporarily suspending" or eliminating comments going into this election.

Everything gets wrecked when Regular Males aren't in charge.

I keep hoping for Freenet or some alternative to the entire damn thing, that requires a good half hour for a well intentioned lay man to connect to, and the process is deliberately changed every few months so dumbasses and chicks can't get a cut and past on how to do it like myspace themes

Somehow make it ass backwards to connect so it's not a matter of just connecting to WiFi.

"best tits" results are waaay better on yandex!

This is true. Personally tested.

Yandex does make requests to a zillion different sites when you load those images, far more than Duckduckgo, but maybe it's not nefarious.

Maybe I should put some time into my idea of just having an sftp proxy locally.

Your browser would connect to that, and that would use your ssh key to connect to someone's server and sftp the content down to you.

Thing is, it would still require people issue a set of arcane commands in a terminal to get set up.

Thanks! This looks good too.

Does not demand that I let them track me with cookies or localstorage in order to work. Sadly, Bitchute does.

I just tried the rumble app on my roku. It sucks. I can't even read the black text on a white background.

Hopefully they improve it. I just started clicking on videos but I didn't know what they were about necessarily. Also, no timestamps so I couldn't tell if it was some old vid.

So far getting bitchute onto the roku apparently requires some surgery. I plan to try that soon.

I'd like to also suggest https://www.brandnewtube.com as well.

Put 5 different sites together and you have the youtube you liked and wanted, but "youtube" now is just corporate propaganda and a few people not giving up on the shitty site.

I made a script that I used to download all youtube videos I watched that I wanted to review later. It's interesting as hell to see what has been censored - got a script for that as well. I'll eventually take everything that's been removed (for whatever reason), and make a torrent. You get a list of what has been censored and the most interesting thing to see is what your overlords don't want you to see.

Do we just need to go back to dial up BBS to find free discourse?

Too much boogawooga woowoo on most alts.

I like Rumble the best so far because it has content besides Grey Aliens Probed my Prostrate

I started using Bing instead of Google for my searches from desktop computer. I suppose it's not as good, but it works fine generally. I love the pretty picture-of-the-day!

More recently I switched my low-security from Chrome to Edge (Microsoft's new browser). Edge has been great generally. It appears to be a very close ripoff of Chrome, which isn't much surprise as much of the underlying technology is the same.

There's just one minor problem now... AdBlock and Ghostry are thwarted by Edge when Edge is pointed at the Bing search page! Ha. So Bing from Chrome is pretty good, but Bing from Edge is somewhat annoying. Oh well. It's a small price to pay.

Hillariously, up until a few years ago I liked to boast that I had been "Microsoft free since 2002!" Now I'm actually switching TO Microsoft because it's by far the lesser evil.

Six Reasons Why Google Maps Is the Creepiest App On Your Phone

Six Reasons Why Google Maps Is the Creepiest App On Your Phone

Fortunately, if you have an iPhone, Apple Maps has been steadily getting better. That might not be saying much, given its rocky start, but it really is pretty good most of the time now. If you're not using an iPhone, then your entire phone operating system and all the built in apps are thoroughly compromised. And I don't think some sort of knock-off Chinese OS is going to be your saviour!

Google just disable their music app and now looking to force everyone to use YouTube music. So I disabled it and found something else that doesn't do ads or require any permissions that it actually needs.

Exactly. I feel the same way. Microsoft hit some limit of monopoly power, probably when it just became too obvious even for our own DOJ to ignore.

Somehow, they still haven't caught up with Google, and probably for the same reasons: government likes the power to spy on us and block content that Microsoft and Google give them. They probably like it even more when they spy on foreigners.

I like it, but it refuses to run without cookies and localstorage turned on so that they can track you.

Patrick, if you click that link it takes you to a list of propaganda about how great Dominion voting machines are, and how everyone is lying about them.

Fuck Google maps. Standalone GPS for the win.

True. Maybe that's part of its mission, to promote MSM distortion.

Just open up a web browser in incognito mode. When you close it, all cookies and localstorage are gone.

OK, it's a little more work, but worth it.

Thanks.

https://reclaimthenet.org/youtube-censorship-candace-owens-men-women-podcast/

Political commentator Candace Owens accused YouTube of being “batshit woke” after it removed her podcast about gender identity. It is not clear why YouTube suddenly found the video offensive after being on the platform for a year.

On Friday, Owens tweeted that YouTube had removed her video because she said “men are not women and women are not men.” According to her remarks in the video are not so-called “hate speech” but the truth.

I use Earthlink search and AOL maps.

Microsoft is pretty evil too.

Oh please. Jesus. If somehow Europeans could not make it over here till now, Native Americans would still be living like they did in the 1500's. I don't doubt that at all.

I personally don't know any Native Americans, but they were sooooooooo damn primitive when we arrived. Even the communities they have now are generally sketchville. I'm sure most are nice people if you got to know them. They just don't seem very intelligent. Harsh opinion, but I don't think it's far from the truth.

I personally don't know any Native Americans, but they were sooooooooo damn primitive when we arrived.

True, they were a stone age people but they did give us corn, tomatoes, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Now imagine Italian food without tomatoes or Russia Vodka made without potatoes. Also imagine no cigars, chewing tobacco, cigarettes, or Prince Albert in a can.

I do know a few American Indians, and they are not into this bullshit. This bullshit is libruls. Just like American Indians actually like that sports teams are named redskins, Chiefs, and so on...

Polish vodka. Russian vodka is made from grain.
