Google fired 28 employees in connection with sit-in protests at two of its offices this week, according to an internal memo obtained by The Verge. The firings come after 9 employees were suspended and then arrested in New York and California on Tuesday.

In a memo sent to all employees on Wednesday, Chris Rackow, Google’s head of global security, said that “behavior like this has no place in our workplace and we will not tolerate it.”

He also warned that the company would take more action if needed: “The overwhelming majority of our employees do the right thing. If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again. The company takes this extremely seriously, and we will continue to apply our longstanding policies to take action against disruptive behavior — up to and including termination.”

Happy to be almost degoogled when I read such things.

If only it was easy to get rid of YouTube..

At least you can use things like NewPipe, or FreeTube (for now).

I might start trying that just to avoid giving money/data to Google. I just wonder if there is an app and if the creators would still get paid. Would someone know?

Nebula is one app I hear yt creators mention often. Specifically FD Signifier and Foreign Man in A Foreign Land, but there are many other creators who use it too. There is also Greyjay, which I think is built specifically for what you are asking.

Yeah I tried Nebula a while ago but sadly it lacked the content I was looking for.

I’m into Linux, cars and basketball and none if these were well represented. Maybe it’s different now.

I’ll have a look at Greyjay.

Peertube with some Patreon support is fine for Linux but not for the other parts too..
