Because people like her aren't using the alternatives that they are claiming to promote.
There are other alternatives with plenty of content.
This person earning money by using the buy European platform is akin to Greenwashing, as mentioned for buy European. As for purity-testing, how many "influencers" is too many for something like this? What are they influencing mostly, the usage of YouTube to make money or the fact that they don't use the alternatives that they are supposedly promoting? I've not checked, but does this influencer have any accounts on the European alternatives? Social media or video hosting sites? If not, then this is self promotion more than promoting the movement, or whatever you choose to call it.
Why doesn't she start the video pointing to the alternative video sites that the video is also posted on, and save some viewers from the privacy issues that come with the big tech sites?
I've no problem with letting people watch what they like, but as she's obviously getting paid by YouTube as an influencer, I'm pretty sure this is just the 'buy European' version of Greenwashing.
I don't disagree, but literally looking for followers on one of the biggest platforms owned by one of the 'bigtech' biggest tech, as an "influencer" kinda defeats the whole purpose. Also, she's not 'starting a movement'.
Relying on people to go to YouTube to watch the video that more than likely just points at things already written and linked to on the sites that have already gained a massive following without YouTube is not unnecessary, but it is unneeded.
Using Google's YouTube to do it. Requires their viewers all to watch YouTube... 🤕🙄
Tastes like?
Ireland mustn't count (small) Their stats only go to may, but month on month they have been seeing a decline in tourism.

Seems it's the same version on Android that has broken access to some instances. There's an update on the GitHub page that fixes it. 2.38.0
I did a fresh install today. No luck. I can't even pick feddit.uk without an error (Attached image). Version 2.37.2 It's a shame, I like voyager, but I've got a couple of errors. So for now I've downloaded another app and I'm using that instead. Will try again after the next update. 🤞
YouTube is not a 'single thing'. If you don't understand the buy European movement works or the privacy issues behind the bigtechs, then that's on you.
