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.
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.
we have alternatives to both. people just need to switch.
but youtube is really hard to replace.
Don’t worry, there’s TikTok. /s
SEO might actually enshittificate YT or make it dependant on AI. Both are hard to deal with from a privacy or open source POV.

What about Peertube as an alternative?
Like, I use neither. Just curious.
Your best bed with youtube is odysee. It is not perfect but much better then youtube.
