What do I mean by a simple video?\
Basically this:
1. Camera on.
2. Show what you want to show.
3. If you intend on talking, say what you want to say.
4. Camera off.

You might be thinking, but ryo-kun, anyone can just do that!\
Well, just look at any random Invidious condom with the exception of youtube.076.ne.jp and jewtube.i2p, or any of the alt tech platforms, because they all are nothing more but a JewTube mirror hosting anyway, and you'll quickly see that it's seemingly a near impossible skill to master these days.\
This used to be the norm in the early days of JewTube.\
How did the early days of JewTube look like?\
Like how I remember it between 2006 and 2009 (warning: nostalgia):
* [Razor Ramon Hard Gay](http://jewtube.i2p/watch?v=ZwL4x97Hoqk) (the only one on this list that's not uploaded before 2010, because JewTube keeps deleting Hard Gay videos, and everyone else keeps uploading them back again)
* [U.N. Owen Was Her? MAD reuploads from Nico Nico Douga](http://jewtube.i2p/watch?v=Q16KpquGsIc)
* [Native Faith MAD reuploads from Nico Nico Douga](http://jewtube.i2p/watch?v=EueadroeukI)
* [Keyboard Crusher](http://jewtube.i2p/watch?v=USUu40edeQ8) (by the way, [his older self reacts](http://jewtube.i2p/watch?v=Urrzuo1HwRo))
* [YouTube Poop made out of Philips CDI versions of Zelda and Mario gaymes (and What Is Love)](http://jewtube.i2p/watch?v=IHRRhUKaWes)
* [Super Mario 64 16 star speedruns](http://jewtube.i2p/watch?v=JzjeBckxOAM)
* [Weegee](http://jewtube.i2p/watch?v=zQ2hOgmbOik)
* Skyhigh MAD reuploads from Nico Nico Douga [1](http://jewtube.i2p/watch?v=CKkZW4OKorI) and [2](http://jewtube.i2p/watch?v=SyI3kJoKRk4)
* [Night of Nights MAD reuploads from Nico Nico Douga](http://jewtube.i2p/watch?v=fwdV2vWNvZw)
* [Lucky Star](http://jewtube.i2p/watch?v=73O7tATQ8og)
* [Bad Apple!!](http://jewtube.i2p/watch?v=FtutLA63Cp8)

I remember way more, but these were the ones I still know the names of.

Meanwhile, videos in current year, especially the English speaking ones, all follow the exact same pattern:\
0:00 - 1:20: "HEEEEEEY EVERYONE, THIS IS (full name) FROM (channel name), AND WELCUM TO ANOTHER EPISODE!!"\
1:20 - 1:30: intro clip\
1:30 - 4:30: "[COWTOW TO MY SPOONSOR!!](/blog/sponsorship-is-spam/)"\
4:30 - 10:00: irrelevant bullshit\
10:00 - 10:30: actual content you came to watch\
10:30 - 16:00: more irrelevant bullshit\
16:00 - 20:00: "PLEASE GIV ME UR SHEKOLS, FOLLOW ME ON SOYCIAL MEDIA AND ALT TECH (aka, controlled opposition), JOIN MY DISCUCK AND TELEGRAM CHATROOMS, HERE'S MY PATREON ACCOUNT, DOXING MY PATRONS RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, BECOME A MEMEBER, LIKE THIS VIDEO, SUBSCRIBE TO ME, LEAVE A COMMENT, AND CHECK THESE 2 VIDEOS OUT. THAT'S IT, BYE BYE SHEEPLE!!"\
And of course there's going to be 2 unskippable video ads at the beginning and end of the video, and mid-video at 7:00 and 15:00.\
All accompanied with a thumbnail where they make a soyjak face out of themselves and a clickbaity title, and a description that's almost entirely ads and Amazon afiliate links.

Noticed the comparison?\
Back in the old days videos contained 100% content, nowadays it's not even 1% (and getting even less by the day) with the remaining 99+% being pure spam.

I do understand that this is pure JewTube pressure, they have to make videos this way in order to get any ad revenue which is getting harder and harder to get with each passing year, I totally get that.\
However, I still fault those so-called "creators" and/or "influencers", because they're unwilling to go like "fuck it, going some place else then", and exactly because nobody is willing to do that, JewTube keeps making up more and more draconian bullcrap, and everyone just deals with it.\
Perhaps the only person who did actually decide to leave is my good friend [TechnicalSuwako](http://technicalsuwako.i2p), as she first went to alt tech (BITCHute, Opussy, Flote, and her own PeerTube instance), got banned from each one of them and/or got her videos censored by them, and ended up abandoning all of alt tech, and settle with her own PeerTube instance exclusively.\
Just like me, she has lost all trust in "The Cloud", aka relying on somebody else for hosting.\
Everybody else though?\
If you're unwilling to leave and make your own, you're getting everything you fucking deserve!\
And I don't want to see any "BOOHOO JEWTUBE SUX!!" videos hosted on JewTube and mirrored to alt tech, if you keep feeding the beast and even do whatever it tells you to do, it simply means you're fine with it and maybe even love it.

By the way, just as a little advertisement, loli frog stopped uploading after [her PeerTube instance got half broken](https://video.076.ne.jp/), but recently set up [a new PeerTube instance](https://video.076.moe/) and is in the process of porting videos over hosted on a NAS and Core i7 server at her own home (and using a VPN over WireGuard just to get a public IP), so she'll be back into making videos soon after an 8 month hiatus.\
But unlike .ne.jp, .moe will remain a single user instance.
