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 😇

    Yeah YouTube is not possible to avoid.

    I really hope that one day we’ll have another platform where you can just pay 2$ per month to every channel you subscribe to and all the great YouTubers open an alternative channel on that platform.

    For now PeerTube and Odysee look like the best alternatives…

      Peertube is actually a really good alternative to YouTube and it means the return of the decentralized web! (Odysee is a good alternative too, but I don’t know if their maintainers are okay) But the problem is that the creators would lost money if they do this for free, and people wouldn’t want to pay if they can have data mining videos for “free”
