I have uploaded the trailer to our old Facebook page too, and our Youtube channel. Just because it is a very rare evet so in case anyone still follow us there. Let me tell you....Facebook is such a clusterfuck. I already knew that but I did not get to interact with it for a long time now. To simply add a video and a description is a mess. A million buttons, a million popups, a million boxes. Promotions and ads everywhere, and all of the crap. If people call that a "social network" they might as well call a Mall a "family home".
Friendica compared to Facebook is haven on earth. A pure social network.
So after I uploaded the trailer on FB and clicked "publish" the post popup disappeared and I was lost. I waited for like 10 minutes and I wanted to post again because I could not find that post....to then see that it was posted after those 10 minutes out of the blue. Took a while and no notification....so terrible.
Youtube is also a mess. An ad-video-platform where the focus is on clicks, views, how to monetize, where to put the ads, how to engage and all of this crap. I added a few subtitles to our trailer and it was like 5-6 clicks to add a single one, compared to 2 clicks on Peertube.
Again, Peertube is haven on earth, or the digital space. A simple and efficient VIDEO PLATFORM.
And that's how we can see how trade has a powerful and bad influence. If a social network or a video platform engages in trades with its users (data trade, attention trade, currency trade) then those platforms will never remain that, they will metamorphose into bazaars. Marketplaces.
Thank fuck that we now have our own social network and video platform, and they all connect with the greater fediverse. I LOVE that I can post our documentary on Peertube and not fear any Youtube BS rules. SO awesome!
