    Good.

    Americans are left with such a terrible, enshittified digital information economy that we must entertain even our enemies for alternatives.

      To be fair billibilli in a lot of ways is much worse then YouTube has ever been.

      It’s aggressively poor as a platform for history channels. And while foreign politics are fine. Anything Chinese poltic related gets nuked from the platform aggressively.

      The app is barely functional, changes for the worse more then YouTube does and basically has no way to support small creators.

      It’s in no way a YouTube alternative beyond that it hosts videos.

        I’ll be more specific. The PRC (government) is an enemy to humanity in my view.

        Well because they caused a couple million to die due to covid. Not only did they lie by saying the virus wasn’t transmissible to humans, but they then let people fly internationally to spread it to the rest of the world instead of trying to quarantine the outbreak hotspots. Then they got a bunch of CCP dickriders internationally to empty the shelves in their respective western countries of all their medical supplies to ship over to China, who then made deals to sell it to poorer countries only on the condition they make a spectacle about it with big banners saying thank you china. And the US helped by funding gain of function research in the wuhan institute of virology where they kept live bats riddled with diseases and sold the bats to the wet market on the sly when they were done with the research. Millions die because a shitty country’s leaders want to save face instead of saving millions of people from a preventable death. Theres a tonne more shit they do out of the media spotlight, but they do a great job amplifying the dumb shit Trump does instead to distract from their own weasly asymmetric warfare against the west.
