I thought odysee is a better alternative for youtube and offers much more privacy. But it’s not. So disappointed.

Feeling hard to quit youtube because of other platforms doesn’t have much better or quality contents expecially no instance of peertube is truly usable. 🤥

    I did read your comment a few times, looking for a different tone, to see a meaning perhaps I misunderstood, but I can’t find it.

    For what it’s worth, Harry Potter isn’t relevant to any of this besides being used as the example. They could have said Star Wars, pottery, landscaping, or astrology. Their point was moreso, ‘I watch long form content that isn’t found anywhere but on YouTube, and Harry Potter is an example of this content.’

    You go on to mention the content in every line of your initial comment, and mentioned the platform only once. They enjoy a thing, you don’t understand how they can enjoy that thing.

    Whether intentional or not, I can’t see what you’ve written as anything but a critique.

    For posterity, your comment:

    OK…but why would you do that!? Your life surely would be no worse without that. I get being a fan and all that, I grew up with HP,. I’ve read the books several times and seen the movies several times. HP was a huge part of my upbringing and I bought the books at release. But I just don’t get watching a 10h video essay on it, much less while supporting YT.

    My interpretation, if you care to see it:

    Your first line comes off as yelling at the person for their choice of content.

    The second line, by my reading, is saying their entertainment adds no value to their life.

    The next two attempt to couch the first two by conflating your patronage of the same source material to an in depth analysis of it.

    Then the first half of your conclusion line specifically states you don’t understand how they reap enjoyment of watching their chosen content, only to be reinforced by your use of “much less”, which means the first bit of the sentence is what you are primarily focused on.
