The only two creators on YouTube I can think of is Hugh Jeffreys and FUTO.

For some context FUTO is the non profit of Eron Wolf who is the person who donated a million dollars to Louis's charity and runs a non profit using his billion dollars from the sale of WhatsApp (who he was part owner of) to give software devs grants to make software that works to bring the power in technology away from a handful of companies and back to the people.

Also, I'd suggest joining the official Matrix space Louis has and asking there. Matrix is similar to discord but open source and better for privacy by default.

I can confirm while I like the message they did spam it.

I see, Kinda surprised FUTO directly implemented it considering how Eron doesn't really like it.

With YouTube cracking down on Adblockers two things are happening, people are finding out adblockers exist at all and people are moving to better adblockers that can still block YouTube ads. One example I can think of is Ublock Origin and their efforts to keep it working blocking ads on YouTube.

Where can you enable that option?

Question, Is there moderation features in this Boost for Lemmy like I remember in the reddit version?

I don't see any way to moderate from this app.

I was just trying mention their stance on this, not mine. I understand your point and imagine it'll be answered in the video.

Louis is still working on getting the video up on FUTOs channel but simply neither Louis nor Eron Wolf (Founder of Yahoo Games and former investor in WhatsApp) agree with the current definition of Open Source.

Also it is a priority for them to be the only one making money off of FUTO stuff if I remember right.
