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?

>>80
In that sentence, the word "whomsoever" would be apt. And you know the answer to that question.

>>81
Was kümmert uns der Dalles,
der Dalles, Maruschkata!
Wir lachen über alles:
ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

>>82
no habla

entschuldigen Sie mich?

Putsch wann, Falli?

Starting to see the following on hooktube vids:

Here's another p2p solution that interface with via your browser. I'm not sure what the difference is between this and BitChute, but I know that this one takes advantage of the BitTorrent protocol.

You are definitely dull.

You are frequently foolish, irrefutably irrelevant, reasonably rash, seemingly senseless.

>>95
I'm not that.

>>96
A scornful word is harsh and wild;
ensconced in the verbal conflagration is a newborn child.
The infant child can't seam to bear
that it's been snuffed unaware.

The year dies in the dawn of Winter
And the tide's rise is in the morn'.
Disciples of Hooktube come hither,
But don't BitChute brethren forlorn.
HookTube's not for adverts t' dither,
And YouTube 's not made for Elsa porn.

Neither services provide a solution
For decentralized video distribution.

There isn't much of a choice. Until YouTube changes policy or dies, alternatives aren't going to gain the momentum they need.

Not to ring the net neutrality bell after all the shit those norms kicked up, but I do wonder about the viability of alternative platforms in the wake of its repeal. It's just baffling how the same short-sighted, mindless consumers who effectively caused this to happen and whose money lines the pockets of the legislature-makers and lobbyists who caused this are also the ones that delusionally believe they're the most entitled to whine. In all seriousness, no startup could ever possibly pay the same tariff that Netflix or YouTube pays to have their platforms not be prioritized, even decentralized platforms. I guess the minority of us that browse sites like this and are actually affected are going to suffer the most, while the people who caused all this are drowning our voices by whining on our behalf.

>>100
Net neutrality doesn't really have much to do with this. All that was done was it reverted things back to pre-2015 regulations, and (almost) the exact same problems with YouTube discussed here were around back then.

>>101
I never said that anything did change. As it happens, things are just as bad as they were under Obama, and that's the issue: small, budding platforms simply don't have the revenue to pay the ISP tariff the way the Netflix historically did, and while that isolated incident was briefly bad for Netflix, there's equal chance that similar negotiations could unfairly benefit big platforms on wired the way that wireless service plans often favor big media platforms (free streaming for certain platforms). While there's no evidence to suggest that smaller platforms have ever been treated unfairly, there's plenty of instances where things like BitTorrent have been throttled and worse. It's clear that there's never going to be a centralized platform equal to YouTube or even the smaller, more niche Vimeo, so the obvious logical continuation is that the most viable YouTube competitor of the future would be decentralized, possibly relying on a protocol like BitTorrent as with ipfs and PeerTube.

oh hey look, jew jokes

Oy, gevalt!

>>102
There are sites like PewTube, BitChute, and d.tube, but they're mostly used to get away from YouTube's draconian "hate speech" rules, and only a very small portion of people will completely migrate away from YouTube, most are just using them as a backup in case YouTube goes on a sudden massive purge.

>>105
I've tried to use LiveLeak, but they are part of RussiaToday and remove any anti-Russian content. For example, LiveLeak removed my Rusich beheading video and banned me for it (there were no strikes, just instant ban).

>>106
Because you're Nikita, and nobody likes you. If I want to subject myself to anti-Russian propaganda, I can just sit and watch CNN all day. It's boring, and Hillary and her fans need to get over the fact that they lost.

>>107

nobody likes you

forgot ur mom

Ah, yes. A ``mom'' joke--the epitome of wit.

imagine convincing normies to switch to a YouTube alternative populated by Holocaust revisionists

>>113
That sounds pretty cool. What does that exercise have to do with anything, though? I mean that sincerely; I don't really get your point.

>>113
But YouTube itself already has plenty of Holocaust revisionsts, and their videos.

>>115
it doesn't promote them
hooktube does

>>116

Relative to what? Hooktube?

No, relative to sites like PewTube, d.tube and BitChute. And I guess to a small extent, Vimeo. YouTube used to completely delete Holocaust revisionst videos, but now they just place them into a "limited state" (see >>7), still quite censoring, though.

>>118
Ugh, I got autobanned again. I've been a naughty boy. Anyway, that's what I figured. If I might ask, aren't the sites that you mentioned pretty left-leaning? If not in reality, at least in principle they have to be in order to be marketable, and they're not overtly trying to be a holocaust denier haven. Certainly, it's not on their roadmap. Even BitChute.

>>119

If I might ask, aren't the sites that you mentioned pretty left-leaning?

If they are, they're of an earlier incarnation of the left that wouldn't be for overt political correctness, and blatant censoring of expression. I know BitChute is associated with James Corbett, and I consider him to be something of an apolitical, non-system liberal (if that makes any sense).

If not in reality, at least in principle they have to be in order to be marketable, and they're not overtly trying to be a holocaust denier haven.

Not explicitly, no. They're for (near) total freedom of expression. PewTube doesn't have a "hate speech" clause in their terms of service, for example, I'm not sure about the other two, but I would say they're probably similar. That's pretty much what makes them marketable; they don't outright say that they're going to be a haven for people who question aspects of the Holocaust, but they're not going to take down their videos or censor them, either. The common YouTube watcher looking at Vevo branded music videos are probably never going to move to any of these sites, but activists (of all persuasions) will.
