Even PushSquare is owned? Isn't there no one independent...?

Nextlander is still going strong and independent. GiantBomb is in a good spot again as well. They have corpo-overlords but are still producing good content.

I'm allergic to Youtube.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

Or Twitch or Patreon or Floatplane or Nebula or TikTok or download the videos with yt-dlp or whatever.
There are enough creators and platforms out there to access the information in some way
