iā€™ve grown increasingly, increasingly tired of youtube lately. the exhausting shorts advertised everywhere, overwhelming thumbnails, sensory overload and just generally a really piss poor site. Is there anywhere someone like me can turn to?

Peertube has no content but tries to imitate YouTube as a p2p federated alt.

YouTube eats up so much storage and bandwidth, I have a hard time believing anything on the fediverse could keep up.

That and Reddit and Twitter content creators ā€œworkā€ for free. YouTube creators have an expectation of being paid which is another big disadvantage for peertube.

Nebula is great, but it should be pointed out it is a paid service.

If you want to watch YouTube on TV with a better interface sans ads, would recommend using SmartTube.

There is option to disable shorts there. It also has sponsor block to skip in video fluff.

This! Smart tube is fantastic. Canā€™t image watching YouTube without it.
