Hi everyone!

I’ve almost entirely degoogled my life, except for Youtube.

Here are my center of interests and some channels I follow:

  • Linux: The Linux Experiment, Tech Hut
  • Basketball: NBA, Andy Hoops, Heat Check, Jonny Arnett, BasketNews
  • Cars: Throttle House, Everyday Driver, Car and Driver
  • Console Gaming: GamingBolt, IGN
  • Tech: Linus Tech Tips, Techquickie

Concerning Linux, it has been easy to find alternatives to YouTube as The Linux Experiment is on PeerTube and I can support him for 1$ a month Through Patreon.

Tech Hut is on Odysee so I could watch his videos here and support him through Buy Me A Coffee or something similar if I wanted to.

I know I could watch everything from the Linus Tech Tips on Floatplane but 5$ a month is a bit too expensive.

Do you have any suggestions about anyone producing similar content to what I’ve described above (Basketball, Console Gaming, Cars and Tech) that I could watch on a YouTube alternative?

I don’t mind paying 1-2$ a month for a channel I enjoy but I can’t pay more for now 😇

    YouTube anonymous and/or ad-free is fine I think. Especially if you’re not hooked in to everything else. Even with all their bullshit the last few years it’s only been one or two hiccups.

    -ReVanced

    -NewPipe

    -Freetube

    -yt-dlp

    The beast can be controlled.

    Basically YouTube is the only that you can’t “degoogled” you will not find any alternative to watch videos of a lot of creators or search tutorial, explanations in it. Sadly…

    Patreon is your main choice I think. Many youtubers post videos there. Though you might have to pay a lot if you subscribe to a lot of creators.

    You can also consider a FOSS YouTube client but the most privacy-focused ones are dead now unfortunately.

        Unfortunately it has the “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot” issue like 99% of the clients. That’s what I meant in “dead”. Also it’s not the most privacy-protecting one by far.

          I’ve never had NewPipe present me with a sign in prompt or any bot challenges, that’s a very strange scenario to be facing.

    There is an site to turn YT feeds into RSS (?) And then play the audio through Antenna Pod. So YouTube to podcast.

    I’ve got it working for some things I follow where I dont need the visuals.
