    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.

      China is currently propping up the entire western world. We would have already crashed if they didn’t reduce their imported oil consumption by a staggering 5 million barrels a day. China has also been suspiciously quiet about it.

    I just tried signing up, it required a phone number then told me I have to download the app to complete the sign in process.

    Edit: Apparently the international version is bilibili.tv not bilibili.com

    Edit 2: When I tried signing up for the correct version it rejected my custom domain for my email, how pathetic

    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.

        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.

          Yeah, we can’t just produce content and hope it will magically lead to the defeat of capitalism or some shit, but if this leads to better speech being allowed to be heard without losing your livelihood that’s already a big win

      I really hope this is the case.

      I’ve just found the following comment in a video:

      我一直都支持以色列,这不是一句“虽远必诛、打嘿除恶”这么简单,最重要的是我觉得犹太民族十分优秀,生于忧患几千年,磨练民族风骨,他们早已超越德日民族了。 祝福以色列越来越强大,以色列人民越来越幸福。 希望以后的后人在翻看旧网页的时候,能发现我的回复,证明当时还有正常思维的人。 最后祝福在以色列的众多同胞能幸福平安。

      I have always supported Israel. This isn’t as simple as slogans like ‘Though far away, we will bring justice to you’ or ‘strike down evil.’ Most importantly, I think the Jewish people are truly outstanding. Having been forged in hardship for thousands of years, they have honed their national character. In my view, they have already surpassed the German and Japanese nations. I wish Israel ever greater strength and its people ever greater happiness. I hope that in the future, when later generations browse through old web pages, they will find my comment, proving that there were still people with sound minds back then. Finally, I wish all our compatriots in Israel safety and happiness.

      Hm, I dunno. Maybe his irony is escaping me.

        Lots of people with lots of opinions. I’m talking about the platform and whether the platform would shadowban, demonetize and so on anti-zionist material or not.

    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 the great majority of the mobile phone market.
