I used the time to find a peertube instance i like. It was not a smooth experience, but good enough that I found enough content to watch. So even if youtube would be working perfectly again I don't think I want to use it anymore. It also made me question my media consumption as a whole.

https://sepiasearch.org/ searches across instances. https://fedi.video/ has recommendations acrosd instances.

The only time you need to pick an instance should be when you create your own account.

Or if you want to subscribe to channels and don't use mastodon.
