[[[ Solved - Using FreeTube for now ]]]

It seems youtube is breaking into the middle of long-form video much more often. And most of the ads are for snake oil - Fear mongering "Tinnitus will KILL your brain in three years" baloney.

Is there a Fediverse equivalent to YouTube? Can the Fediverse be applied to this? Will it solve the above complaint?

I have been to Odysee but with very few exceptions none of the content I want is there (They have Veritasium, and minute Physics, but not Vsause, Technology Connections, or Stand Up Maths)

I could not afford that either. I have U-Block origin but for some reason, I had turned it off for YouTube. Probs because I heard a rumor that they were going to flat block people using ad-blockers. I have turned U-block back on again.

There will always be a workaround unless they start using DRM on YouTube videos
