Capitalism does this to itself due to the profit motive. Where once is innovation and brand new disruption becomes petty iteration as this new frontier slowly but surely becomes a well-oiled profit machine. The upside is that FOSS makes replacing this profit-generating soul-sucking bloatware with better alternatives very easy.

Replacing the existing infrastructure of Capitalism by building up parallel structures is a valid means of weakening Capital itself.

Really waiting for an youtube alternative tbh.

PeerTube! If you just want a better YouTube, check out NewPipe.

Already use Newpipe, might give Peertube a chance tho.

You definitely should if you want a viable alternative!
