For YouTube frontends: On the Linux desktop, there is FreeTube, on IOS there is yattee (IIRC), then there are web based front ends from invideous.
Louis Rossman mentioned the other day that they are in the process of creating an app that will allow you to follow your chosen creators across multiple services, so that you can continue even if their primary platform removes them.
If you’re looking for YouTube alternatives, check out Peertube, Odyssey, and Nebula (I haven’t looked at Peertube or Odyssey in a while, so I can’t comment on how they are doing).
Peertube still has zero discoverability, and Odyssee still has Alex Jones and Russia Today at the top of its news and politics section, so not great on either front, sadly.
Odysee has a lot of horrible crap in it, and conspiracy crap, but it also has some tech news and Electroboom. I think they’re a crypto coin pyramid scheme doomed to fail when their evening crashes though.
Yeah, there are still some decent YouTube channels mirroring their stuff there, and maybe if YouTube actually manages to piss people off enough a flood of sane people could drown out the crazies that currently dominate it, but I wouldn’t count on it, and either way it’s not great for now.
I’m just discovering FreeTube on Linux Mint due to your post… thank you! Do you know if there is a way to integrate sponsorblock? (EDIT - sorry! I did not read or search, it is already included!!!)

Been using this all day and it’s fantastic if you have Linux! Thank you so much!
