Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

YouTube is the only platform that I don't think I'll be able to quit any time soon. Hosting video on that kind of scale requires insane amounts of capitol, and P2P isn't reliable enough, and I say this as someone who has streamed torrents before and has tried out PeerTube.
Also even if there was an alternative, having an alternative for creator monitization is even more difficult. LBRY and D-Tube tried to do it with cryptocurrency, but both of those projects seem to have fizzled out (and I think one is flooded with fascists nowadays).
Do you mean for posting content or watching it?
If it's just watching there's plenty of alternatives. Newpipe and YMusic on Android are pretty awesome. Also there's Freetube on desktop and Invidious.
Posting content. I've been using NewPipe since the very first version.
Yea, thought that might be the case. I just wanted an excuse to promote Newpipe more than anything there. God I love that app.
You're right, nothing compares to Youtube for video hosting. What do you post?
I don't personally post much; I just want a good alternative that will convince the creators I watch to switch to a more libre platform.
Tbf under quitting i understand not interacting with the platform anymore in any way. Just using a different app for that platform isnt really quitting. I still use reddit with a modded 3rd party app so it still works since i never really got into lemmy or kbin (i'm here after months of not opening it just to look what changed) so while i dont use the official way of accessing it i cannot say i quit
