I think wide publicity of the Buy European movement is good https://youtu.be/tRhg9qKux88

As a content consumer ... none of those "alternatives" are alternatives to youtube.

They all immediately take you to a "how to buy hosting on our platform, and why our platform is good for hosting" pages. Rather than just taking you to the hosted content. So as a consumer, I now need to work out how to consume the content there. And ... I ain't gonna bother.

youtube.com the content is right there.

Youtube is a platform for consumers, that creators have to work for.

Because people like her aren't using the alternatives that they are claiming to promote.

There are other alternatives with plenty of content.
