#Youtube #Banned #LBRY
Hi. Just a quick blob video to keep you updated on what just happened in the Youtube alternative space. Because as you no doubt aware, I've mentioned it many times, I'm on pretty much every platform out there. I'm not only on Youtube, I'm on my own server as well.
And I'm also on Library, which is a huge uh thing. I've currently got 41 850 followers on Library. Absolutely a huge online bit. Shoot, I'm on Vimeo, I'm on.
uh, there's new ones coming up all the time and I'm on everything. Anyway, Guess what's just happened? Google? Not Youtube, but Google Owned Youtube. Google have just banned the Library Android app from the play store. Yep, without warning and for contrived reasons.
Uh, here's uh. Jeremy Kaufman, Ceo of Library, and uh, this video details their exact communications, reasoning and hypocrisy. We believe we are being targeted. You do big creators fleeing Youtube for Library.
And they are, by the way. And by the way. Uh, coincidentally, uh, Library have just released a new platform. It's still based on Library, but they've rebranded it as Odyssey.
You can still see that, uh, Libraryt Dot Tv is still there and the whole library ecosystem and platform is all still there. but you can't get on Android now. Um, but uh yeah, Odyssey. Um, here.
this is their new rebranding so I've got the same number of followers. Everything's still the same, except it's sort of like a more friendly, uh, user interface. So definitely go check it out. It's it's only brand new, so they're You know they're after feedback and and things like that.
And uh, I got it set up so that the lab here if you go over to the lab category, has a whole bunch of there's There's big Clive there he is with his what's he got? Bailey's Irish cream. anyway. um, a whole bunch of electronics. uh, Youtubers over there and uh, science.
and um, you know, other uh, videos. Oh, there's my latest live show. it's already over there. I just just did that an hour ago it's already pulled in.
Um, fantastic. So anyway, give Odyssey a try because a lot of your favorite electronics Youtubers are over there. Um, you know, library. It's just a new rebranding Odyssey? Cool.
Anyway, Google have just banned the uh Library app from your dumb phone from your shoe phone here. Um, so yeah. Fantastic. Guess what their reason is? Well, let's hear from Jeremy himself.
let's see what he has to say about. I thought I was going to be making a video about Odyssey today, but I'm not because we have been banned from the Play store. That's right. if you pull up the Library app on the Play store, you'll now see this.
It's gone. This is the email that they sent us. Just woke up to this: This is the way it works. You just get taken down.
There's no warning. You can attempt to appeal with the massive bureaucracy that is Google, but there's no discussion. It doesn't matter that you know you have hundreds of thousands of downloads and a good rating. It's not the way the system works works. Quite similar to the way that Youtube works comes out of the blue. You don't know it's coming. Maybe you can get someone to talk to you. Maybe you can't.
What's especially delicious is what they cited as the problem here. This is dumb. So here are the images. This is a non-pornographic scene from a comedy.
Stan Goldstein representative for the Guinness Book of World Records here with Joel Stetson and Karen O'leary as they attempt to break the record for sexual intercourse. It's it's not pornographic, right? Let's look at some of the other things that you can watch on apps from the Play store. Yeah, let's not watch the other stuff anyway. he just goes through uh yeah.
other things that you can watch on. no problems that are a thousand times worse than that on the Google Android Play store. So there you go. Library.
Google have banned the Library Android app. Of course you can still access it on your shoe phone. You can just uh, you know, go to Library.tv or Odyssey.com as you should be using now because it's a bit friendlier. Um, and you can still do it that way, but you can't get the app.
Unbelievable. Is it just the Youtube bot? again? Will they unbet? Will they realize? Oh, this is not a good look. Banning one of our technically one of our competitors and probably One of the leading competitors to Youtube at the moment. Of course, this is Google doing it.
Not Youtube, but Google own Youtube. So it's effectively uh yeah. Banning Huge one of Youtube's biggest competitors from the Play store. Yeah, that's a good look.
Isn't it World on Youtube? Golf? Clap. Unbelievable. So there you go. Leave your comments down below.
Um, you know, tweet team at uh Team Youtube on uh, Twitter and go, hey, Come on. This is just ridiculous. Um, because yeah. the light Android library app is just a nicer, easier way to use it on your phone.
You don't have to go to your browser and things like that, Um, on the desktop here. I I still I'm a bit of a browser fanboy, so I tend to. Well, yeah, but they've got Windows app as well. Um, and uh yeah.
Anyway, Banned. There you go. Leave your comments down below. It's a great look after they just launched their big Youtube competitor look and feel.
Unbelievable. Catch you next time.
You are a good person
Don't be evil, Google!
it is great video
Can u get it on apk pure or arora?
Good video! They may ban the main app, but you can still use LBRY as it is a protocol and new apps can be built upon it. Also, you can access LBRY from desktop, just use Odysee.
It took a few months, but the mighty algorithm has now decided to show this to me. Something something Streisand Effect.
It's because Google will do anything to make YouTube the dominant video sharing site. Smells like an antitrust lawsuit in the making, anyone?
just searched for LBRY and found it on playstore o_O
But good to know such alternatives exists! thanks!
edit: oh wait, that's an old video! I guess it's outdated now.. was there some feedback or apology from google?
sorry for digging up old video, old existing subscriber, but youtube have stopped showing your videos and now I've stumbled of this one..gonna rewatch everything from that point on… omg! I was missing your content!
Parler, lbry, and now all of Australia? Social "engineering".
They kill competitors, this sucks
Absolute tyranny
I can't seem to play videos on LBRY now anyone else? They using Amazon servers too?
What the fuck would you do with your competition ?
i just found out about LBRY and i was just about to jion and leave Youtube, too late hay? F U C KKKKK
Looks like its back on the app store. I was able to download it on my Samsung.
I hadn't heard of LBRY until now. Thanks!
Thanks, never heard of this LBRY thing, i guess i'm not just learning electronics from you ๐
Petulant little minds at Google. They don't want you to leave until they ban you.
They did??…they must've lifted their ban, I just downloaded it from there and watched a few vids on it…I think Odysee and LBRY merged together too, whenever I search for Odysee only LBRY comes up.
If google is banning a platform from their Android play store to protect youtube from competition, that would fit exactly under anti-competitive practises that the USA government is fond of cracking down on. This is not only immoral, it is illegal.
seems it's back now
Yeah, they want monopoly, they want some hefty fines. ๐
BTW. Everyone get YouTube Vanced.
For Edgy content Bitchute is the king, a lot of conspiracy low IQ people as well, but you can overcome it if you are registered and fellowing the right people, not even gonna notice it. The design still an issue in bitchute but you get used to it. I spend more time on bitchute than on youtube now.
Its up now for me for some reason. No longer down.
DAVE! use Floatplane! the one ltt uses.
If anyone who does not have LBRY on android and would like to, it is available on the F-Droid app repository ~ an anti-Google app repo.
