I watch YouTube when I eat etc. I pretty much solely watch gameplays. Is there any alternative? Or an opensource way to view YouTube? I don’t want to use Twitch because Amazon and I grew out of enjoying streamers in my late teens and it’s been a while since.

Edit: I don’t ever use it on mobile. Desktop via Firefox only.

    Take a look at Odysee. I even have a browser extention that redirects me from youtube to the video on Odysee if it is avilable their.

      Looks very clean. But the issue to me and with a lot of new social media sites is the lack of population and thus the lack of content. I’ll try to stick to Lemmy and give it a chance but yeah it is a huge barrier of entry for new competitors.

        undefined> the lack of content.

        I have the same issue. That is why i still use youtube for example but the extention allows me to slowly migrate to odysee. If the creator also uploads their videos to Odysee without me knowing the extention will make me aware of it by redirecting me to the Odysee variant of the video instead of youtube.
