Official Hooktube Thread

Since every other discussion seems to be getting derailed with Hooktube/Anti-hooktube flaming. So type away! I'll start:

Anti-hooktubers, why don't you like Hooktube? Are you incredulous to the legitimacy of such a project? Or do you think it's unethical? Or are you frustrated that there are people using Hooktube and not looking for a true, viable alternative to YouTube?

I've said in another thread regarding HookTube that it's largely an intermediary between the current awfulness of YouTube and a site that's finally a complete break. There are already alternatives like pew.tube, d.tube and BitChute and they seem to be developing at their own pace. The people I personally follow all have backup channels on BitChute. However, they're still quite small sites and YouTube is still so large that they can afford to continue to shoot themselves in the foot for the foreseeable future. I doubt that they will stop at bullshit like placing videos in a limited state and HookTube has been a gift in bypassing that as I mentioned before in >>7.

/g/ is using HookTube? I haven't said anything positive about /g/ in years, but that's a good thing. And so what if it's just some "glorified YouTube overlay"? It's something that is needed for some people at this point in time.
