Basically they want to add AI tools to make AI generated shorts and videos.

Edit: changed to a similar article that at least has a preview

          Huh? That’s… still YouTube, just curated. We thought you had meant an entirely non-Google video platform; leaving YT completely is the goal. All I can think of is PeerTube, or the paid service Nebula.

          By the way, ads are easy to defeat: use any Firefox-based browser (like Firefox or Waterfox) with AdNauseam, or NewPipe on Android. You don’t need FreeTube for that (although I do also try to remember to use FreeTube anyway, haha).

            A lot of the indie animators I follow aren’t on Peertube, only youtube and usually patreon. I’d love to support them all, but it’s not feasible on my salary.

              My bad: I didn’t see that you’re not @[email protected] (the original parent commentator in this chain), whose video sources I’m now wondering about. Leaving YouTube itself, entirely, is the major hurdle for us all in this case.

        Absolutely:

        • Odysee
        • Peertube
        • Dailymotion
        • Floatplane
        • Patreon
        • Bitchute
        • Nebula
        • Rumble
        • Spotify
        • Apple

        etc. Are there good alternatives? mmmmmmmno, not really.

          Thanks for the list. I’m already in the Apple-sphere for entertainment and there’s likely no going back from that (it offers what I want at a price I’m not irked b y). But, because I use YouTube mainly for instructional videos (food recipes, wood working, lawn care, whatever my id has steered me towards), it’s hard to find a replacement. Cheers!

        I use youtube through newpipe in Android. UBlockOrigin kills this nonsense on the desktop browser anyway. For smarttvs, my app is SmartTube.
