I can't read that without thinking of "Democracy Manifest"

It's a parody of Dr. Breen's "Welcome to City 17" speech from the start of Half-Life 2. If you've never played Half-Life 2, then it's a very, very, very strong recommend from me.

I was thinking earlier today about Invidious, an open-source alternative front-end to YouTube. And I was struck with a thought: would it ever be possible for something like that to simultaneously serve as an alternative front-end to a (※federated) YouTube competitor? Because I could only imagine that if such a thing were to happen, that audiences would have plenty of reasons to move to the alternative front-end (wrt. ads and data harvesting, access to exclusive content on both platforms from one location...), at the cost of being able to like and comment on YouTube videos; and then once a significant audience has moved to the alternative front-end, creators could transition to the competing platform without much fear of losing their audiences, and regain likes and comments.
I mean, I don't know what I'm talking about so there's probably a reason this hasn't already happened. It just feels like it should be possible with enough time and resources.
Wow, I didn't know Google was planning to start a war (start a nuclear war)
This is maybe a bit of an obscure reference, but it's based on the "DO NOT FORGET TO TURN OFF YOUR TELEVISION" message that Soviet Central Television used in the Perestroika days.
This is also the first post I'm making to a community not based in the same instance as my account. Hope it works!
