~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

Some time ago the popular Tech Channel #LinusTechTips published a Video as part of their new #DeGoogeYourLife 3 part series.
However this Video (part 2) was now taken down by #Google: https://youtu.be/apdZ7xmytiQ
While the Video in question did not in any way promote harmful content, however this just serves as a reminder why Google's #monopoly with #YouTube is problematic.
Also shout out to the Videos sponsor for giving a discount with the code "fuckyoutube" ๐Ÿ˜‚
Here is the first part of the Series for everyone interested: https://youtu.be/YnSv8ylLfPw

The only thing that I noticed that likely violates YT TOS is LTT mentioning alternate YT frontends, e.g. FreeTube, LibreTube, and Invidious.

This being enough for taking down a video, not just demonitizing, makes sense in the context of YT cracking down on third party frontends. How long until YT uses DRM?
