    Well, this certainly explains my difficulty with YouTube over the last few days. Ironically, the piped instances still seem to be fine…

    This might just be enough to push me primarily over to Rumble. There are fewer and fewer reasons to use YouTube and more and more reasons not to.

      Hadn‘t heard of Rumble. At first glance, it looks like it‘s run by Elon Musk. Andrew Tate on the frontpage, far-right political channels and crypto bros. I think I‘ll pass.

        Same, a lot of YT alternatives seem ripe with alt-right garbage. I’m a leftist myself, but I can stand liberal content, however platforms like Rumble and Odysee’s feeds look awful right now

          My odysee feed looks good. No right wing stuff there. I’m only missing a few channels that haven’t moved over.

            Just checked it out and of course one of the first videos on the front page is by thequartering. Certainly right wing stuff there

      I have zero interest in any youtube alternative that isn’t decentralised. Every centralised attempt, even if it somehow suceeded, will simply become enshittified anyway.
