Youtube alternative solution
(apollo.town)
Hello guys, I have noticed that all the big internet services are starting to get worse and worse. And I am forced to migrate to foss alternatives. I have moved from Windows to OpenSUSE, from Reddit to Lemmy, etc. But I have an issue with moving from youtube. It is not that my favourite channels are not bringing me alternative they do but it is somewhat fragmented. Some of them are on PeerTube, some on Floatplane, and some on Nebula and I would rather pay those than youtube. My issue is that each of these has its app and I would like to have them united in one app to which I link all my accounts to. Does something like this exist?
If I may offer a new way to think about things - YouTube ads support creators by allowing them to make a living making their videos. It's quite different than Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit, where a company is just hosting and monetizing people discussing and sharing things with each other. If you want to see good content, YouTube decentralized alternatives will really only take off if there is some sort of crowd funding going to creators. Which would most likely take the form of a subscription. And...that is essentially YouTube premium anyway. And I might add that I've had YouTube premium for years and it's my favorite subscription I have across the entire internet.
I've subbed to nebula, hope more creators move there.
At Google I'm already the product so I'm not paying them if I can. And for now I can.
