Ads are just spam that someone pays for

Did you... watch the video? You act as if he's bashing the fediverse or isn't a strong supporter of it

No, YouTube has a serious idiot commenter problem.

Both can be true.

Sure, but when the first claim comes from a sensationalist youtuber, its claim to veracity sort of loses weight.

They are all shills sucking ads for profit

Lol, if you think that absolutely open sign ups on instances isn't a problem, then thanks for advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions

Nice strawman argument, was that what I said? Nope.
Also, "advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions"? Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.

Always the hallmark of a real contender. Oh, did I say "hallmark"? Hope that doesn't cause you to stumble. "Stumble" means to trip while walking; in this case it's a metaphor for thinking.
Hope that was clear enough for you.
Huh. Considering the primary point of the video was how open signups are bad, I don't know why you contradicted your comment on the other thread and said this video has no valid point.
So nice self-contradiction I guess?

you'll really are whining about the video, instead trying to help with the issue
