YouTube is now using AI to alter people's videos without permission. (There are threads about this at https://mastodon.content.town/@operationpuppet/115640694705318541 & https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/115598837629003478 etc)
This is really disturbing and dangerous. It's more insidious than censorship because viewers cannot tell a video has been altered.
If you post to YouTube, I'd strongly recommend you start ALSO posting to PeerTube, either on your own server or a public server. There's a complete guide here:

Eh, this has been known for quite some time now. It's just generative upscaling. Not that I support it but you are blowing this issue out of proportion. It is not ACTUAL alteration of the content.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services To be fair, they mailed me last month about my two channels, showing how to opt out before they start to do it.
That being said, I already recreated that two channels on PeerTube earlier this year and think this is an important move, even if nobody watches it on PeerTube, at least to have a ready-to-go backup.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services
This is crazy shit that must be stopped. But how?
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services ⏫
also is there an easy way of downloading all the content you put on youtube?
p.s. If you already have a PeerTube account and want to get more visibility for your videos, here's a guide all about that: https://fedi.tips/how-to-promote-your-peertube-videos-account-and-channels

That's really "uncool". Perhaps many more should know this.
I didn't like YouTube since it looks like spam when I just follow an interesting link.
I wish #peertube becomes much more popular.
@randahl@mastodon.social did you think about using both?
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services honestly this is not a good argument.
YouTube has always altered the content through encoding and what they are doing now is not that much different.
The only difference is that it may not be deterministic (if it is, then the only difference is the technology being used).

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Can someone explain how to simply watch a video on PeerTube. I've been thrashing through reams of stuff telling me what PeerTube is but nowhere is there a simple link telling me how to watch a video there.
@lloydlemons@me.dm
It's a big task as YouTube has been around for 20 years now, but we can make a start by using other platforms that cannot be bought out by Google.
YouTube was originally independent, but because it was centralised it was very easy for Google to purchase it.
PeerTube is not centralised, it's spread out on many different servers and anyone can start their own pretty easily. It would be much more difficult for anyone to buy PeerTube out.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Thanks for your hints and tips! Didn’t know that peertube accounts could be followed with a podcast app!
