I'm slowly ditching Google lately. Always on the lookout for better options, so lemme know what you're using! 👌

What is the YouTube alternative? That’s what I’m struggling to find. I found PeerTube but couldn’t find much I’d like to watch.

ETA: I like videos like Veritasium and VSauce, Tom Scott, those kinds of things.

Odysee and peertube, best instance on peertube is framatube :))

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 9 points 1 month ago

Not really. Framatube.org doesn’t allow registration. You should check out the pinned post at !peertube@lemmy.wtf about PeerTube platforms (instances).

My YouTube alternative: still YouTube, but I screw them out of ad revenue with a dedicated account and third party apps

[–] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

That's definitely a good first step. I'd support peertube as much as possible to really hurt YouTube in the content whenever possible for the future.

You have nebula, but that is paid.

Besides that, not much. Youtube has a way to powerful marketposition.

I know not everyone can do it, but $300 for a lifetime Nebula subscription was great. Do wish more people moved over though.
