They got rid of the Dislike button. Fine. They changed the Homepage to 2 ginormous thumbnails per row. WTF are they thinking? They doubled down and forced that change onto the Subscription page too when people started just using that instead. Now I’v noticed a LOT of videos posted from subscribed creators do not appear on the subscriptions page at all. Go to homepage? There it is plain as day. I’d complain (30second unskippable ad) about the (30second unskippable ad) annoying bombardment (30second unskippable ad) of advertising on (30second unskippable ad) the platform but (30second unskippable ad) I use Ublock.
There has to be some sort of competitor (not Twitch) that is a reasonable equivalent? I’m at my wits end here. It seems all Media Content online has become outright hostile to consumers and I want to go to war.

Nebula, it is a paid service, but I’m happy to pay for something that just works. There’s a lot of smart creators there as well
Same. A lot of science and history YouTubers post there. And there’s a lot of early releases and exclusives like Real Engineering’s amazing D-day series. Pretty inexpensive and totally worth it
They got rid of the Dislike buttonThere’s an extension to get it back
They changed the Homepage to 2 ginormous thumbnails per rowAnd they’ve hidden the ‘watch later’ button, to press it now you first need to wait for the video preview to load 🙄
WTF are they thinking?It’s like they purposely make the UI a little bit worse every two months.
Peertube is the Fediverse equivalent. It needs more content, and more instances to host said content, but it’s a good start.
NewPipe is the alternative so far. Libretube is cool, but the instances are unstable. Odysee is also good though it can get slow depending on your connection.
