Help to get rid of YouTube (self.degoogle)

Hi everyone!

I’ve almost entirely degoogled my life, except for Youtube.

Here are my center of interests and some channels I follow:

Linux: The Linux Experiment, Tech Hut
Basketball: NBA, Andy Hoops, Heat Check, Jonny Arnett, BasketNews
Cars: Throttle House, Everyday Driver, Car and Driver
Console Gaming: GamingBolt, IGN
Tech: Linus Tech Tips, Techquickie

Concerning Linux, it has been easy to find alternatives to YouTube as The Linux Experiment is on PeerTube and I can support him for 1$ a month Through Patreon.

Tech Hut is on Odysee so I could watch his videos here and support him through Buy Me A Coffee or something similar if I wanted to.

I know I could watch everything from the Linus Tech Tips on Floatplane but 5$ a month is a bit too expensive.

Do you have any suggestions about anyone producing similar content to what I’ve described above (Basketball, Console Gaming, Cars and Tech) that I could watch on a YouTube alternative?

I don’t mind paying 1-2$ a month for a channel I enjoy but I can’t pay more for now 😇

I wish there was a YouTube equivalent of Sonarr that just uses yt-dl to auto-grab and organize YT channels you want as new episodes come out. Then you could just play with Plex or Jellyfin.

Maybe this would be useful for organizing?

I've actually checked that out and it's well made but way more than just a subscription tool, it's more for downloading/preserving entire channels.

There is

I've seen that but either I'm an idiot or that is a CLI tool. What makes Sonarr nice is that it's config is all done through a web browser meaning you don't need to edit config files anytime you want to change something.

Thank you for sharing though I may try and get it set up one day

I feel like at one point I saw a way to use yt-dlp to get only the latest videos on a channel/playlist.
