Suggestions?

My issue is that the content creators i watch probably arnt going to leave... and im sure ad blocks will find a way around it after a month or so

PeerTube seems to be the federated (decentralized) option (similar to this). Content obv is entirely different, but maybe that's actually a good thing. Think of it as a clean slate - a fresh canvas. tbh YouTube's content has really sucked the past few years, and mother of bog do you see the stuff that trends nowadays when you're signed out? It's basically become cable tv. I started using youtube bc I hated cable tv.

defederated

I'm not sure I understand what defederated means in this context. Can you explain it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

think they meant to say decentralized

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

yes, my brain apparently couldn't decide between decentralized and federated, so it mooshed them together

Invidious is the most obvious. Its FOSS wrapper but it also lets you watch peertube and other federated content.

They already started to fight the project last week, Google legal contacted the project owners

I saw the reply they had. Interesting point about "We don't use your API so we didn't agree to the TOS of your API. Also there is no 'we', since we don't host invictus; simply develop it as a product"

@PhatInferno There's Peertube here in the fediverse. But yea, every platform will need creators which will not easily switch. Some even have youtube membership enabled on their channels, which makes it kinda impossible (without being deprived of revenue).

Unfortunately I don't know of any other platform that would pay creators like YouTube does which is half the reason the YouTube keeps creators.

I hate the crypto bros as much as but I wonder if there is a way to set up a federated video sharing network that has a $5 monthly fee and distribute it over the creators you watcher over the month.

@Bardak if you post a video on a topic that YouTube deems problematic then it doesn't pay you either (i.e. the demonetize that video).

Many youtubers are on platforms that accept donations tho (like Patreon), so for some, the monetization isn't that much of an issue.

Nebula. Most of they content creators I watch are there.
