Hello guys, I have noticed that all the big internet services are starting to get worse and worse. And I am forced to migrate to foss alternatives. I have moved from Windows to OpenSUSE, from Reddit to Lemmy, etc. But I have an issue with moving from youtube. It is not that my favourite channels are not bringing me alternative they do but it is somewhat fragmented. Some of them are on PeerTube, some on Floatplane, and some on Nebula and I would rather pay those than youtube. My issue is that each of these has its app and I would like to have them united in one app to which I link all my accounts to. Does something like this exist?
YouTube is making millions off the back of creators. They’re not helping them apart from giving them some level of visibility in the unfair jungle that the algorithm is.
A form a subscription to your favorite creator on a platform like LBRY, Odyssey, Peertube goes directly to the creators without feeding the awful beast that google already is.
The problem is visibility. YouTube owns the monopoly of popular videos, and if we want alternatives to work, we need to support independent creators by tipping them, spreading the word and boycotting google.
That’s how we’ll see good content, without ads.
