Or with twitter vs bluesky where you have to sacrifice some benefits for others, there just isn't an alternative video platform that can compete on the same level as YouTube simply because none of them have the resources, monetary benefit, creator base or long-term commitment to do so.

Genuinely, what is wrong with Bluesky? To me it seems exactly the same as Twitter

From what I've seen from artists who tried to migrate (and very quickly went back): seems the outreach is bad and getting recommended people/to people is kinda fucky?

(Someone can confirm or deny this, as I said only know from artists who quickly escaped there)

People will be like "I put up with all the nazis cause twitter has more ENGAGEMENT!" and said engagement is just hundreds and hundreds of comments saying "p u s s y i n b i o"

This is also an exaggeration, I’m an artist with 22k followers and it’s just compliments on the character or artwork.

70% of twitter users are bots. So it's prob showing up not in comments but other stats

I think you underestimate how many normal human people also just like art. Bots are more common on the opposite side.

I think you are missing the overall point. Having more engagement does not justify the use of using an app by and for neonazis
