Which Youtube alternative do you prefer to use and why? I've found PeerTube, Odysee, and Rumble. Thoughts on any of these?

  • PeerTube: YouTube for geeks (the good one)
  • Odysee: YouTube for the alt-right (not the worst platform I've ever used, but in my opinion not worth it either)
  • Rumble: YouTube for nazis and conspiracy theorists (avoid)

I also prefer PeerTube because it has more of the accounts I subscribe to on YouTube than the other two.

I also quite like Invidious, Nebula, and Floatplane.

There is also Vimeo.

However, none of these is a true alternative to YouTube in terms of content.

Of course, but in this case “being an alternative” really depends on the goal. To produce content they may be all valid, to monetise content there will be differences, but to consume content none is really comparable to YouTube.
