the larger we get, the more it will get fucked by ai bots, corporations, and shitty content creators

The term, "enshitification" is getting bandied about a lot. But the bots and corporations are an inevitable part of capitalism. Make money at all costs, never be satisfied with what you have, and treat everybody that isn't you like a stepping stone.

Scammers and sociopathic c-levels are missing something fundamentally human. A complete lack of empathy. But this has always been a part of our species. The difference now is that we have a system that dramatically rewards that sickness. And that's not even getting into how being able to be evil at scale is going to make the next few decades interesting.

Otherwise known as the C-suite executives. CEO, CTO, CFO, ect...

The best way to fight it is to simply be unmarketable as a community. This is how Verizon ended up having to sell Tumblr for less than 1% of the price they paid for it like only 3 years later. If the cost outweighs the benefit, fewer people will bother trying.

How do we do that without becoming vulgar, sexist bigots?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Yes. That could work as well.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Have it as a distributed network of smaller instances, rather then having everyone pile on to 2 or 3 big ones. It's easier for admins to notice the bots if their site populations remain relatively small, and it's easier to defederate from sites that are enabling the bots if they're not also home to 80% of users.

Pornography, leftism, and piracy.

I feel like you could make your own instance at that time.
