After the US nonsense over TikTok these guys should have skipped the US in their international release and waited for Trump to complain about the US being excluded.

YouTube badly needs a competitor imo

Kinda hope it succeeds

We already have Odysee, Rumble & other platforms. They don't even count for a tiny dent in the YouTube universe.

Tbh, i hope it doesn't take off since chinese companies are forced to hand their user data to the chinese government

Edit: i am NOT saying that USA services are better, fuck both

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

US companies hand it to the US government and every advertiser in the world....

They are both shitty... But maybe two shitty competitors we can at least get something good...

YouTube Google's monopoly has ruined the internet, android, web browsers and more
