Freetube is the best way to watch YouTube (www.popsci.com)

I'm not sure it's the "best" way, but it's a solid alternative, and receives rapid updates when YouTube moves to break things.

I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.

And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

Grayjay and Freetube are both fine but different.

For some reason, Freetube currently works well, Grayjay needs iOS fallback and barely works.

Grayjay follows the bigger, already implemented idea of combining multiple platforms. This is a great UX and smooth fallback when Youtube blocks again, or permanently.

It also allows commenting, livechat, and has its own rating system.

Also, it has Sponsorblock integration.

@[email protected] I like GrayJay, even tho I find their integration of PeerTube quite lacking.

Yes, I also dont understand why Peertube works so badly. It is one of the platforms with the most quality content, but its decentralization really makes it require an app.

sepiasearch.org helps here, to connect all instances and index them

@[email protected] Same, PeerTube has so much good and interesting content, this content just doesn't get exposure because of bad discoverability
