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.

    Whats wrong or even different with “webtorrents”? I thought it was just a torrent client written in JS?

    WebTorrent is a distinct protocol from BitTorrent, that uses WebRTC instead of UDP/TCP. It aims to be as compatible with BitTorrent as feasible.
    This has to exist because implementing the latter is impossible to implement on browsers, with JS.

    I highly recommend you take a look at the Wikipedia article.
