    we have alternatives to both. people just need to switch.

    but youtube is really hard to replace.

      Nebula.tv has some promise. It’s not free but it’s very cheap and creator-owned. Plus there’s no ads. But it can never be a true replacement for Youtube because it doesn’t allow just anyone to upload there.

      What about Peertube as an alternative?

      Like, I use neither. Just curious.

      My alternative to youtube is reading books from the local library and playing the guitar.
      The decline of reddit and youtube especially has done wonders to my quality of life.

        Newpipe is great, for me. I don’t have a steady stream of recommendations or shorts, just content I actually subscribe to and whatever is trending if I go there, or manually search for.

        The infection of ads into every corner of Social media legitimately was making me a worse person, with a shorter attention span and no mental clarity.
