I wanted to list and ask for platforms that can substitute YouTube.

Here it's:

  • NASA+, Space and Astronomy Videos.
  • Vimeo, Professional Videos and Documentaries.
  • TED, Talks and presentations.
  • PeerTube, there is not a lot of videos, but some creators upload there.
  • ARTE, Euro documantries and analysis.
  • RedBull TV, Sports related videos.
  • RTE Player, Journalism.
  • BBC videos, diverse topics.
  • NFB Films, Canadian Films.

  • Floatplane
  • Odysee
  • Tumble

What I mostly use is peertube, but it only works once you’ve found the creatirs you enjoy (Linux Experiment, Gardiner Bryant and Veronica Explains for me).

Thank you for sharing this list, it's awesome! I see a couple of good options for me.

arte is the best!

Hard pass for Dailymotion, with all respect to you if you are using it.

My reasoning here being that, Dailymotion had stopped accepting individual creators uploads(only companies can upload) and that it loads every tracker on the planet earth whenever you visit them and that they don't have comments.

Most probably it will die by itself in 3-5 years.

It's also owned by Bolloré the French wannabe Musk.

[-] merde@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

no, i don't use dailymotion. I'm just adding it to the list of alternatives

[-] JustFudgnWork@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Great list actually. I use (and have paid for) grayjay which so far is great as a way to aggregate some of these. I'd also suggest Patreon, despite not being perfect in itself it has a lot of youtube creators on it so you dont have to give up certain creators

Is YouTube embroiled in some controversy or something? I’d search Google but don’t trust it anymore

[-] EngineerGaming@feddit.nl 7 points 3 days ago

Yeah. Such as: blocking the playback until the user disabled their adblocker, making it impossible to access 18+ content without signing up, repeatedly breaking third-party clients and frontends, apparently blocking the playback if the user is behind a VPN... I am now afraid they might eventually demand a login just to use the site at all. Doing my part in downloading everything I like at least.

Youtube is owned by Google. People who are avoiding it typically do so for that reason, plus the enshittification of the platform over the past few years.

Dayamn. That played out ironically
