Seeing as we’re on the fediverse, there’s Peertube
What are some good, active instances?
Tilvids.com, maketube.net, urbanists.video, spectra.video are a few
Odysee is like old YouTube it's also unfortunately like old YouTube so be prepared for unfiltered content and opinions
I like Nebula. You have to pay for it, though.
Is Nebula the one that some Youtubers use for more in depth videos or videos that YouTube would demonetize? (ex: documentary style videos about wars, disasters, etc) Or am I thinking of a different one?
That's the one.
Been curious about Nebula but haven't gotten around to trying it.
I've looked up reviews before, but they all seem pretty vague.
What do you (or anyone else that uses it) get from Nebula you didn't get on regular YouTube?
What ratio do you watch Nebula over YT?
We have YouTube Premium already due to the insane number of hours we use it, especially with the Chromecast, and I'm wondering what benefit we could get.
If you're in the right (well, left) spheres, you'll run into content creators who advertise creating exclusive stuff for Nebula, because it gives them a better deal than YouTube ever has.
Personally, I would rather adblock or ReVanced my YouTube app and sign up for Nebula for everybody I can, and Patreon or similar for everybody else.
I mostly use PipePipe on android, from f-droid store. It's basically New pipe but more reliable and can also view Chinese and Japanese video platforms
On desktop Freetube can't be beat
Those are Youtube frontends, not Youtube alternatives. Don't get me wrong. They're good but the OP wants Youtube alternatives.
Then I think the actual answer is there are none. Although PipePipe can access PeerTube? Also BiliBili and NicoNico. BiliBili is possibly larger than YouTube but of course it's all in Chinese!
I use piped/libretube, not an alternative but a different frontend, content is scraped from yt, so google cannot track you. The downside is that some instances can be unreliable and you can't like or comment. Subscriptions work but I don't think they contribute to a channel's sub count.
Maybe Vimeo?
Self hosting and RSS.
pre recorded videos. odysee, peertube & rumble
community posts. mastodon, bluesky, X( twitter), tumblr & telegram
livestreaming. kick, vimeo & twitch
Rumble
OP was looking for good alternatives, that one is an alt right cesspit
"Oh no, right wingers! Let's leave this place!"
My god, modern day left wingers are so weak.
There's nothing weak about metaphorically walking into a club and realizing the people there aren't your kind of people and you don't want to hang out with them.
There's also nothing weak about boycotting said club because it was specifically created to cater to said people and you don't want to give them money/support their work.
But all of the Rumble user base can't be right wingers. So if you see same right wing stuff and you leave because of that. Yeah, that is weak. Find the good stuff on Rumble and watch that.
It was founded in 2013 by Chris Pavlovski, a Canadian technology entrepreneur. Rumble's cloud services business hosts Truth Social, and the video platform is popular among American right and far-right users. Rumble has been described as "alt-tech".
It's not a matter of finding good content or content that isn't "alt-right." The platform itself is inherently an objectionable alt-right soapbox and I have 0 and I mean Z.E.R.O. interest in supporting that.
"if there's ten Nazis at the table and you sit down, is it now a fair and balanced table?" or something like that.
I agree with what you've said -- we don't need to validate a bad site.
Sure if weaponized disinformation and right wing extremists are your thing. You bet.
