I prefer “list” view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

    How is it that such a shitty site/corporation has continued to maintain a grip on this market? Why aren’t we inundated with viable alternatives?

      there’s peertube and odyssey but idk how viable either of them are long term. peertube at least is decentralized, not sure if odyssey is too or not

        Odyssey

        You mean “Odysee,” I guess?

        …Hey, browsing the “Home” and “Featured” categories, there are a couple of other Youtubers I recognize! Not many, but a few:

        • Veritasium
        • 3Blue1Brown
        • Undecided with Matt Ferrell
        • Bright Sun Films

            I agree that becoming too associated with nazi trolls (which are uniquely a problem in a way that even other sorts of extremists are not, because of the paradox of tolerance) is a huge danger to nascent platforms. I’m not sure what to do about it either, except maybe to continue trying to promote the platforms even despite the risk of offending them in hopes that they can grow faster than they lose reputation. And in the case of Peertube, defederating from instances hosting hateful content, I guess.

            By the way, this…

            implying that all lgbtq+ people are p*dophiles, which is a completely fucked and cruel thing to say

            …is actually an understatement. What they’re actually doing is engaging in the equivalent of blood libel and trying to incite a pogrom.

      Because it has all the good content. The creators are what makes watching YouTube so fun, not the site itself.
