You know, I'd love to say f-ck you "Googol", but the ladder will be probably exactly / less caring about privacy.

Even if that’s true, at least BiliBili is just a video social media site. Unlike Alphabet, it doesn’t control half of the world’s internet services and mobile phone market.

China in general seem intend on attacking/undermining every single stronghold of the shtty 'Epstein' Oligarchs - just like me.. Go go China !!

YouTube could use some competition. Creators who publish to multiple platforms could also use an alternative, especially if the alternative doesn't censor pro-Palestine and leftist material as YouTube does.

I like this new Chinese warfare. Releasing free AI models to undermine US firms, not letting US buy their rare earth minerals opening up a YouTube competitor.
These are all hurting the people wo are leeching the money out of the middle class, and making laws to keep 'em poor and stupid.
I'm not looking forward the upcoming economic crash, and the whole climate change thing happening.... But we all had it coming.

Making their own DRAM, GPUs and CPUs. Making their own EUV lithography machines. Leading the world in solar panel manufacture and deployment. Competing with the western EV market, in the west. Owning a part of just about every supply chain in manufacturing of just about every product.

It's easy to think that this is a deliberate strategy to undermine the US and the western hemisphere and position themselves to be the next world superpower, but it could also be explained just by the slow and continual collapse of capitalism causing everyone else to fall behind.

Honestly I am just applauding every time a new contender shows up.
Eu is trying to step away from US monopoly products. And trying to do stuff on their own.
China taking over the best supercomputer.

And while capitalism is one of the worst thing invented on the planet. I'm hesitant to say China's system is the way to go.
The Eastern Block wasn't happy with the Mother Russia - if the system is forced without any smarts behind it - it will just sours in every survivor's thinking.
Not that Ice is any better than Gestapo or KGB. It is sad to see patterns repeating themselves.

Shame the website isn't multilingual

Yes I wouldn't want anyone to think that my comment is praising their authoritarianism, surveillance panopticon, cultural genocide of ethnic minorities, extra-national police stations, hacking of critical infrastructure etc.

Just that when you're competing against late stage capitalism, the bar for success is set very low.

especially if the alternative doesn't censor pro-Palestine and leftist material as YouTube does.

I really hope this is the case.

I wouldn’t give a shit about the economic crash if my livelihood weren’t dependent on the economy. Shit, even if I just had to adjust to a new career — I wouldn’t mind. The problem is that I have no idea what to expect. Will there be any jobs? How am I supposed to feed my family? I don’t live in an area that allows a family to be self sustaining. It’s hot, dry, little wildlife, … so what the fuck do we do?

Form community and work to assist that community. Thinking every individual has to provide for themselves and their family is a libertarian fantasy that depends on having money to spend at a nonexistent store on nonexistent bags of seed to grow with well water you excavated by hand that you will defend with a gun you load with nonexistent ammunition bought at that same nonexistent store with no money just so you can shoot your hungry neighbor who wants food.

If landlords demand payment when no one has a job, oust the landlords and protect your neighbors who are being threatened with eviction. If police try to protect the landlord’s position, oust the police and protect your neighbors who are being violently targeted.

If people in your community are hungry, use existing farmland and existing logistics to provide enough for everyone. Sure, these workers won’t be paid if there’s no money to pay with, but if the choice is between “work hard and help my community from starving” and “sit on my ass as everyone starves”, it seems clear what logistics workers and farmers would choose. And your goal should be to assist them or assist some other facet of maintaining your community.

They're gonna TikTok it and sell off their Western branch to top Zionist Larry Ellison if it ever takes off.

Honestly at this point I don't know what is propaganda and what isn't.

A lot of it is

The site load pretty fast, way way faster than YT.

Would only affect the US and still serve as a YouTube alternative elsewhere. I'd like a Feduverse alternative better but video hosting is expensive, plus any replacement of YouTube must also come with the ability to get paid for people who do that full-time.

Please research further. I believe your heart is in the right place, but you sound like many of us before we started actually looking for sources and educating ourselves to see past propaganda. Western media (and NGOs, like Amnesty) have been caught lying so many times in just the last few decades to justify destroying countries and raping their peoples that we can't just take their word for it, especially when talking about the countries that can actual beat them.

Obviously they do have surveillance, all states that can afford to, do, but the cultural genocide claim is false (on youtube, you can find random tourists in Xinjiang passing by people speaking Uyghur, for instance, no need to take my word for it when the evidence is literally there, documented by random liberals online; you can also find stats on how many mosques they have, the legal status of Uyghur and Tibetan, the differences in how one child policy was applied for ethnic minorities, stats on population growth, etc). The extra-national police thing is a conspiracy theory, too. Hacking does happen, in both directions.

Generally, I trust that you're a smart person who can look things up, try to get sources on different things, and always understand the bias of every speaker. You know my bias is very pro-China, and you know that western media is very anti-China, and you're free to be anti-China as much as you'd like, but it's best if you do it with actual sources so we can have good faith discussions on both sides rather than resort to repeating disproven conspiracy theories. We don't need to repeat claims from QAnon to point to very real problems in the US. If hypothetically the BBC decided to platform anti-US conspiracies (which they won't, because they're aligned) that wouldn't make it any more legitimate, it just shows a bias, in this hypothetical case against the US. The sooner we move past the propaganda, the sooner we can have more honest discussions about China and anything else, even if we might not necessarily agree (ex: I understand many anarchists don't like China, that's fine with me as long as they don't hate China more than other states based on propaganda, but rather reflecting a consistent position against states in general, even if it's one I disagree with).

Lastly, my reason to like China is because they're generally a positive force in the international stage, they help many countries actually be able to develop, not out of goodness or something, but because it's good for them as well as for our countries, and that's good enough for me. The sooner we have a multilateral world where countries like my own can develop and heal, the better.
