what is the alternative to youtube? (self.general)

Hi! sorry for the random topic 😅

Youtube keeps getting more and more annoying. Is there a good other platform where to migrate? If people were to migrate, where would they go?

the thing I liked about youtube is the massive amount of content, and knowing that if I upload a video, it's really easy to watch by others. I like the ability to follow channels too.

Odysee is probably the biggest one, with a lot of creators having their youtube synced with it. Peertube is also an option, but I've never used it.

Never heard of it, but I’ll definitely check it out

Odysee was acquired by Google in 2015, so it's unfortunately another corporate-run greed machine. PeerTube is decentralized though.

This is totally untrue, why spread these lies?

Source? I can't find anything to back this up

The company That Odysee used to own Odysee.com because the company Nimbuz had a product of that name, an android app for video and image backups. That product was acquired by Google.

Odysee, which now owns Odysee.com is the video platform being talked about here, and I see nothing online about it being related to the old Odysee in anything other than name.

Odysee was never acquired by google to my knowledge, but I could be wrong. Odysee used to be LBRY but rebranded a year or two ago.
