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.
Nebula is a subscription service started by some significant youtubers to share revenue and get out from under youtube’s enormous thumb (if possible). Most of the content you can find also posted on youtube for “free”, but Nebula is ad-free and has some unique content, and tries to support creators more equitably.
It’s not exactly a worker’s co-op, but maybe as close to it as we viably have for streaming video so far. See the FAQ. It’s not FLOSS, or even free, but it is an alternative to potentially consider.
For free and FLOSS, TILVids node of peertube might be of interest.
Yeah I heard of tilvids here on lemmy, I tried it, could be a start, it’s unfortunate that they don’t federate
