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.

I'll checkout those three suggestions later today

Invidious is a YouTube frontend. This instance is the only one still working after Google went on the offensive.

Nebula is a paid platform that is run by the creators who use it. Loads of intellectual fibre and original content.

Floatplane (also paid) is a Patreon-esque platform owned by Linus Media Group (who also manage Linus Tech Tips). I only used it to watch DankPods, though.

I just tried several Invidios instances and they worked.

Use it almost daily and always find several instances are working.
