I am sorry, who is forcing you to watch YouTube videos?

. If there were a viable alternative, I'd happily jump to that in a heartbeat and even pay like $5/mo for it.

Floatplane, Nebula/curiositystream, patreons of creators.

    You realize how much information is on YouTube, right? We have to use it at work all the time when our safety officer does their monthly trainings, among other things. YouTube is ubiquitous to every day life, don't act like anything even remotely compares in terms of video content.

    And yes, I do use patreon for some creators but to even pretend it's comparable to the entirety of YouTube is ridiculous. Floatplane is promising but is very new. Never heard of Nebula, guessing it is similarly new or limited.
