  • Do alternatives like Invidious and Piped really work? I’m skeptical because it seems like YouTube doesn’t want users to have a privacy-focused viewing experience.

    I think PeerTube is a great platform, but it lacks enough content to keep me engaged. Quitting YouTube is challenging, especially since I’ve become more aware of online privacy thanks to some privacy-focused YouTubers. However, many of these creators haven’t transitioned to platforms like PeerTube.

    For example, while some creators like The Hated One and Mental Outlaw have switched to Linux, they still primarily use YouTube.

    There are many FOSS services available, but most still rely on big tech. I’m not saying that’s inherently bad, but it does highlight how limited our options can be.
