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.

      I’ve never used it myself, but the TL;DR is that it’s supposed to be basically like Patreon, except that:

      • it is itself a non-profit organization that funds itself via donations to its own account instead of taking a cut of the payments to others,
      • its software is Open Source, and
      • it only allows donations to creators (i.e., creators aren’t allowed to provide rewards in exchange for the payment – apparently, this is at least in part to avoid having to charge VAT).
