Thoughts on Vidli's recent drama/The Spiderfan Mentality

1:52 It's gratis online video hosting, so do you care? I only care about the time investment of manually uploading the videos and putting the metadata in, one at a day, which amounts to some work at roughly approaching ~100 videos, and I mind about loosing comments and contacts and links to the place for a given shutdown, but software one day will come to the rescue. I too can't imagine that BitChute works totally decentralized, despite theoretically possible. It's just that they probably are using a big data center in the background, using or abusing AWS or some other hosting somewhere somehow, and the fact that little is known about it is pretty "interesting". Not to worry about, but could vanish one day.

i didnt really like the people that got banned in the first place so i didnt really care

@mattwo Hello. You don't know me. But, I am a newer face on the site. I am a friend of CL21's and I was stabbed in the back by Spiderfan. I'll gladly talk to you more about this.

Okay, so here's a Jan vs Alisson comparison. Jan was too soft on the trolls. They were allowed to run rampant on the website until so many people started to complain about it. A lot of people had to ignore these trolls at the time. Once Alisson joined in, he slowly but surely removed the trolls. Then, finally, Jan left VidLii, leaving Alisson on his own. Alisson removed an offensive video showing a picture of a cat pissing on the word "niggers". Some of the best content creators started complaining about this and they got banned for it. Then it started lots of backlash and they got banned for it too. They started posting videos of them leaving VidLii because Alisson is being such a jerk! Alisson then banned those people as well. So, he ended up banning over 40 people who didn't deserve to be banned.

I know you haven't logged into VidLii since last month so I figured I'd mention that.

Just to be clear, I am well aware of Alison's coding skills. Louis and Fawz also hired him for that very reason.

mattwo you're back! I haven't seen a vid from you in a long time.

It's just something that happens naturally, these YouTube alternatives eventually shut down for whatever reason; but VidLii may end up being an acception to the rule even though it closed down before as VidBit, depending on how things go this time. Upload Society has been around for many years since it last closed down, but that website was never going to be a viable option because of the partially toxic community, it's terrible website / channel layout and people not really being able to upload on there.

As for BitChute, I gave up on that website after I tried to upload a video I recorded using my PS4 and the website refused to upload the video and kept giving me an error I can't remember; it was just a regular MP4 file and it wouldn't let me upload it and the staff just assumed I couldn't upload the video because it was a music only video file or something. Any time I have a situation where the staff doesn't know what's going on, I just quit the website.
