And move to what? Sadly YouTube is monopoly right now :/
We don't have to watch YouTube... :)
watching less youtube was one of my resolutions this year, it’s not going very well. remind me to skip the trash and watch more movies / read more books instead
i had that same resolution last year, and in the end youtube drove me away from YouTube, I watch about 1 video every two months but even that is usually just for nostalgic reasons. I have no desire to watch YouTube anymore, even though I used to watch at least 5 hours a day. All that because of their anti consumer actions.
But where will I get my 4 hour lives streams devoid of any meaningful content??
hoopla, Kanopy, Udemy.
all available through my library
YouTube doesn't have a monopoly on live streams
Not watching so many videos, I guess. Maybe get a Nebula subscription (ersonally, I watch a lot of video essays).
Get a dog. It'll absorb much of the free time that YouTube used to waste, but in a far more rewarding manner.
Kanopy
"And move to what?"
To having a better life.
I like YouTube as much as the guy next to me, but at this point we have become to Dependant to it. Instead of watching quality content like movies, series, documentaries or animation; we end watching someone talking about that on YouTube. When we find nothing good on the platform we end watching something we don't care about just to have something to watch or having as background noise. Some people can't even enjoy a meal or sleep without YouTube. At this point YouTube is more numbing the TV ever was.
I hate what they are doing, trying to block Invidious, Newpipe and the ability to watch the platform without ads. But at the end it'll be the best for all of us except for YouTube.
Eventually YouTube will die and a new shitty monopoly will step in.
Peertube is a thing but getting people to upload to it is gonna be tricky
