Hi everyone, I’ve been following the de-google-ify internet campaign of framasoft for several years now and have replace a lot of GAFAM services doing so but the only service I’m truly struggling with replacing is youtube.

I could never find anything with enough interesting content and I always find myself going back to youtube.

What about you?

  • did you stop using youtube?
  • where do you go instead?
  • do you just spend less time watching videos?

I prefer decentralized solutions but any FLOSS alternative is a good start.

    people create content for youtube because they make money off youtube. from what pretty much everyone claims, their algorithms and content discovery/curation is unfair and mainly highlights content that will make both google and the user more click revenue (by giving space to already popular users). peertube etc. do not reward content creators and thus do not see as many willing to produce content, as well as having less viewers in general, creating a catch-22. the world today is sadly all about monetizing your hobbies and exposition to monetize yourself.
