Seeing as we’re on the fediverse, there’s Peertube

What are some good, active instances?

[-] neblem@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Tilvids.com, maketube.net, urbanists.video, spectra.video are a few

Odysee is like old YouTube it's also unfortunately like old YouTube so be prepared for unfiltered content and opinions

I like Nebula. You have to pay for it, though.

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 6 months ago

Is Nebula the one that some Youtubers use for more in depth videos or videos that YouTube would demonetize? (ex: documentary style videos about wars, disasters, etc) Or am I thinking of a different one?

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 6 points 6 months ago

That's the one.

Been curious about Nebula but haven't gotten around to trying it.

I've looked up reviews before, but they all seem pretty vague.

What do you (or anyone else that uses it) get from Nebula you didn't get on regular YouTube?

What ratio do you watch Nebula over YT?

We have YouTube Premium already due to the insane number of hours we use it, especially with the Chromecast, and I'm wondering what benefit we could get.

If you're in the right (well, left) spheres, you'll run into content creators who advertise creating exclusive stuff for Nebula, because it gives them a better deal than YouTube ever has.

Personally, I would rather adblock or ReVanced my YouTube app and sign up for Nebula for everybody I can, and Patreon or similar for everybody else.

I mostly use PipePipe on android, from f-droid store. It's basically New pipe but more reliable and can also view Chinese and Japanese video platforms

On desktop Freetube can't be beat

[-] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Those are Youtube frontends, not Youtube alternatives. Don't get me wrong. They're good but the OP wants Youtube alternatives.

[-] tomjuggler@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Then I think the actual answer is there are none. Although PipePipe can access PeerTube? Also BiliBili and NicoNico. BiliBili is possibly larger than YouTube but of course it's all in Chinese!

[-] serpineslair@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

I use piped/libretube, not an alternative but a different frontend, content is scraped from yt, so google cannot track you. The downside is that some instances can be unreliable and you can't like or comment. Subscriptions work but I don't think they contribute to a channel's sub count.

OP was looking for good alternatives, that one is an alt right cesspit

"Oh no, right wingers! Let's leave this place!"

My god, modern day left wingers are so weak.

[-] Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg 14 points 6 months ago

There's nothing weak about metaphorically walking into a club and realizing the people there aren't your kind of people and you don't want to hang out with them.

There's also nothing weak about boycotting said club because it was specifically created to cater to said people and you don't want to give them money/support their work.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Sure if weaponized disinformation and right wing extremists are your thing. You bet.
