    As with reddit / lemmy, I doubt a viable alternative will emerge until youtube has become well and truly offensive.

    Even after it has this is very unlikely because part of the appeal of youtube is getting paid for work and most people either don’t have the money to pay for it, choose not to or hate the platforms through which creators ask to get paid through.

    Like it or not, either it’ll be another tech company who will later do this exact same thing or we need more people willing to pay and less shitty platforms through which they can do so i.e. not VC backed/supported.

    Yes and no.

    Reclaiming a word can only be done by those who are affected by it negatively and it should always be used in a positive way by people attempting reclaiming, never negatively. I’ve seen no evidence of them doing this or of them ever being affected by that word negatively personally.

    Also intent is not magical, it doesn’t absolve people of the hurt they cause by doing something, all it might do is explain they weren’t trying to be cruel, however that doesn’t magically absolve anyone of anything and if they carry on doing it regardless of hurting someone etc, then they show their intent was really not what they claim it was.

    Even if that’s the case, that still makes it an immature name for what should be a serious project, because I doubt they’ve ever seriously engaged with the concept outside of them naming their project that, hey that’s an idea!

    Like, I don’t mind fun. But as someone into kink too, the name of a project shouldn’t invoke anything to do with either ableism or BDSM, especially since kink is not understood by most people correctly, unless a project is related to kink in some way, or ableism (which I’m going to seriously be suspicious of your project and motivations unless you’re disabled and are reclaiming it) it’s still a very bad name that doesn’t really explain anything about it at a glance/first hearing it.
