Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Great source you got there.

Have you actually watched the video? Or only like the first minute of it?

You would not be saying this bullshit if you actually watched the video, its incredibly well researched. (Fucking hell, the dude says before your quote that he has been researching this for a couple of years)

She could definitely sign something like show nipples.

"hey, Koko wants you to take off your top."

"Yeah, she's fascinated by nipples. Hold on, lemme get my camera."
