In light of Invidious getting shut down and getting mixed results with using Freetube, I have decided to ditch or at least attempt to ditch Youtube. However, I enjoy watching let’s plays and videogame reviews and the like, but I can’t seem to find any Peertube channels with such content.
I’m familiar with Gaming with werewolves, but not much else. Are there any other Peertube channels pertaining to videogames that anyone would care to recommend?
Well, if you’re familiar with Chris Were, you probably also know HexDSL: https://share.tube/accounts/hexdsl/video-channels
If you can get past the French accent, I think Solene is also fun: https://videos.pair2jeux.tube/video-channels/openbsd_gaming/videos
This is good stuff, thank you!
Invidious isn’t shutting down just the main dev is leaving the project. There are other maintainers too.
You’re right, it’s the invidio.us instance that’s getting shut down, I should have clarified. Still, this seems like a good a time as any to get off youtube, because everything about it, from getting a channel’s RSS feed to actually watching a vid has become a gigantic pain in the ass. And I am not about to start using the official site.
Peertube, while lacking in content compared to youtube, doesn’t waste my time, which I appreciate greatly.
You’re right that working around Google’s dark patterns is in the long term a losing game. Stuff like NewPipe etc. break every other month. Hopefully more creators embrace peertube alongside YouTube for uploading their content on.
