Youtube frontend are not the solution! (feddit.it)

In my opinion we need to support other websites like odysee and peertube. If everyone here continue to watch content on yt we won't have a real alternative. This is my thought. For me the best alternative right now is odysee and I'm trying to watch only creator there. (If u want a list of content creator I can write it down)

Well it's not like we can follow a youtuber on peertube, odysee or bitchute if they don't post on those platforms.

If a vlogger chooses not to post anywhere other than Youtube platform, he should face zero disadvantage? Unless you are literally addicted, why would you facilitate her laziness in not engaging at multiple platforms?

Zero disadvantages? You mean like having to give up your identity to Google? Having to follow an ever increasing number of rules? Having videos demonetized for weeks until the appeal process runs it's course. Yeah, no disadvantages posting on Youtube.

" ... why would you facilitate her laziness ... " Because I'm lazy and can't be bothered to check 10 to 20 video sites per day to see if she posted a new video. The people I follow have an average subs of 5.7 million. What incentive do they have to move to another platform? The small number of people using a frontend isn't going to make a difference.

How is making a number of accounts on different platforms going to encourage a Youtuber to move?
