Hi! sorry for the random topic 😅

Youtube keeps getting more and more annoying. Is there a good other platform where to migrate? If people were to migrate, where would they go?

the thing I liked about youtube is the massive amount of content, and knowing that if I upload a video, it's really easy to watch by others. I like the ability to follow channels too.

Freetube if you want a standalone desktop app that stores all your subscriptions. Invidious instances in the browser. Newpipe on Android. All of these no ads and need no login. 😊

Those aren't alternatives to Youtube; they still rely on Youtube to host the videos.

True. Fair point. Just suggestions to make YouTube more bearable for the OP.

I don't know if skytube is still working on android, but it was nicer than newpipe in terms of giving me the videos I expect to see.
