Uh. No it wasn't. Google footed the bill for years until they were able to make money on it. I'm not saying poor Google but to assume youtube would still exist without Google's cash is very unlikely.

I do not understand all the people who are too afraid to try email hosting on their own that are out here discouraging people cause they want to sound right.

Email is hard cause people don't host it enough and the few corps ignore the minority problems.

If more people shift back to hosting email the balance will tip again.

It is fine if you don't want to host email but telling people not too without even trying yourself is anti-selfhost IMHO.

Do you have any go to guides or even an overview of how you generally diagnose email problems would be awesome!

Jmap is also an emerging standard. https://jmap.io/

Wrong. If you aren't up to the task of hosting email that's fine but discouraging others from trying is the opposite direction we should be going.

It came before bard was renamed to gemini. Kind of like people who were referred to as Isis before you know, Isis.

Maybe but YouTube wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for the years Google paid for it with no monetization in sight.

You mean this with /s right? Cause AI is burning lots of dead dinosaurs. More than snailp mail I'd wager but I didn't do the math.

We need a catchier phrase. Surveiling Sam needs limits or some shit like that.

Well. Where are the videos of those. Not ideal that only flock was kicked out but there is already a playbook that works. Just repeat it until they stop or the playbook needs to change.

Yep. The internet is becoming what a mailbox in real life is. An abused gateway that has a narrow set of legitimate uses.
