It's 2021 and the virus situation hasn't ended when even some people speculated that thing is gonna end at x month. though it doesn't (f-word)ing matter much since I don't go outside my room much let alone actually walking around outside and touching grass like a real human being. other than that I've been staring at random objects like my blank blue wall, so; maybe It's fate or not. but It's about time I make some videos. become a ゆーつーばー

translationyoutuber (A little microaggression, I absolutely love this word. it makes my mouth bubbly and my stomach feel like it has insects)

Yeah.. but, I have a ~little~ problem.

youtube needs my phone number and in some cases- my id. I don't know their security nor privacy-policy but I never seen anyone get doxxed (tell me if I'm wrong) has dogshit rules and policies clouded in so much vagueness, they seem to strike users randomly in which, doesn't help the fact that they don't communicate to their creators.

Positive thing about youtube is all the cool people live there, and everyone else.

Peertube is an anomaly and is the shit. I love the yellow theme and also pretty effing customizable, though instance owners don't even theme 100% of the time, according to the bible that's probably sin. the features are pretty good, I love the fact that I can have multiple channels connected to one account, although... one thing about youtube that is good is you can edit videos after you uploud it, would probably save alot of problems like removing copyright stuff.

Should I make a youtube account or like should I avoid it? tell me why/why not.

for obvious and personal reasons, I don't want creepy people around stalking me, even a possibility of it happening.
