says who, it's one of the biggest platforms on the internet lol

I didn't say it wasn't the biggest platform but, everyone I know on YouTube are streaming on Rumble, Odysee, Dlive, Trovo or Kick. Some of them are still on YouTube, but I don't watch them there anymore.

3 out of 5 platforms you mentioned are filled with far-right content lmao

Which 3 are filled with far-right content? I guess I'd have to look for that.

yep many seem to use YouTube to link out to Curiosity stream and few other similar pay tutorial sites
