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.

Lots of good suggestions already, but if you have to stick to YouTube, you could always use a third party client. FreeTube for desktop and Newpipe for Android. They function great. You don't need an account and can organize and export your history and subscriptions, it's a much better way to interact with YouTube than the official methods. Newpip even allows for background playing.

Doesn't ReVanced still work?

I use it every day. Works pretty well if you patch with the recommended version, but it's not perfect. Still good enough to daily drive tho.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

Yes! It's wonderful!

It also kills reddit adds in the official app. That said, I'm not sure how much I'll use it at this point... Still, I like having the option loaded up!

[–] swab148@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Yes it does.

[–] Alpagu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You can use newpipe app
