I don't understand how using NewPipe could help breaking Google's monopoly since we are still consuming content from Google's server. using an alternative service like Peertube, Odysee could help us
Because you consume Google content but you don't give as much surveillance data to Google as you would with the official YouTube client spyware, you skip advertisement which denies Google revenue, you can do things like listen to music in the background which are only available for pay in the official client - again denying Google revenue...
And of course you give Google the finger. Spite is also a valid reason.
It's not much but it's something, and at this point anything that hurts Google delays the inevitable dystopia a little bit - and sadly I'm afraid it's a little too late to hope for much more now.
@kionite231 @ExtremeDullard I have tried everything to ask my favorite creators to start posting on peertube but its impossible to find the content I am looking for on peertube :(
I hope someday peertube would take off
Peertube is great but it will never amount to anything until you can perform meaningful video and channel searches on it. At the moment, search is virtually nonexistent: you have to know what you're looking for exactly to finds something.
