But to get that new, good internet, we have to support technologists of good will and character by terrorizing their venal and cynical colleagues by hitting them where they live: in their paychecks.

For sure, this whole boycotting idea doesn’t really achieve much of anything in practice. I’d say when it comes to the internet the solution is to build our own open source tools and platforms. Lemmy is a perfect example of that in action.
If you’re interested in video hosting, peertube exists. But since video hosting is one of the most expensive way to share data it uses a peer to peer connection like torrenting. So in some countries you might be responsible for sharing what you watch.

I’ve been keeping an eye on peertube, and it does seem to be progressing nicely. Torrenting is probably the only practical approach to the problem.
