After looking a bit into Patreon, Peertube, Floatplane, Nebula, Rumble, Odysee and Dailymotion, I find it crazy that even when you’re willing to pay, all the good content is the one that you can watch for free on YouTube (with a few exceptions of course).

Patreon is your main choice I think. Many youtubers post videos there. Though you might have to pay a lot if you subscribe to a lot of creators.

You can also consider a FOSS YouTube client but the most privacy-focused ones are dead now unfortunately.

Unfortunately it has the “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot” issue like 99% of the clients.

I’ve never had NewPipe present me with a sign in prompt or any not challenges, that’s a very strange scenario to be facing.

Not everyone faces it but a lot of people do. That error means that Google noticed you’re using a custom client and IP banned you from watching without signing in.

Some YouTubers also just post unlisted YouTube links on their Patreon unfortunately

Yeah but using a YouTube client would feel a bit dishonest to me as you’re still using Youtube in the end😇

I’ll look more into Patreon as I didn’t know you could have videos directly on it.

I’m just using it to listen to the Linuux Experiment podcast.

LibreTube works just fine if you disable proxying. FreeTube Kordova also works perfectly fine.

Libretube gives the error for me either straight away or after a few videos. Sometimes using a VPN and changing servers all the time helps.

FreeTube is a desktop only app unfortunately.

Have you tried disabling the Piped proxy?

I’ve linked FreeTube Android in my first comment, actually.

Of course I disabled it. It doesn’t work at all with it enabled.

Sorry I didn’t see. I’ll look at it later.

I wish there was a YouTube equivalent of Sonarr that just uses yt-dl to auto-grab and organize YT channels you want as new episodes come out. Then you could just play with Plex or Jellyfin.

I’ve actually checked that out and it’s well made but way more than just a subscription tool, it’s more for downloading/preserving entire channels.

I feel like at one point I saw a way to use yt-dlp to get only the latest videos on a channel/playlist.

I’ve seen that but either I’m an idiot or that is a CLI tool. What makes Sonarr nice is that it’s config is all done through a web browser meaning you don’t need to edit config files anytime you want to change something.

Thank you for sharing though I may try and get it set up one day

Not really an answer to your question, but I’ll share my approach. Youtube channels have rss feeds, so you can “subscribe” using any rss reader, and don’t need to login.

I use a seperate youtube container in firefox, plus adblock + in-video ad skip + feedbro.

This is a neat workaround !! Still, for privacy reason I keep my addons to a strict minimum.

However I save your comment as emergency workaround ! Thanks for the tip !

For finding content creators on alternative services, maybe use Grayjay for Android? It aggregates multiple services into a single, mostly concise UI, and when you do a search, Grayjay can search all services at once. Also recently it added a recommended tab, which should help finding new channels on the go.

There is an site to turn YT feeds into RSS (?) And then play the audio through Antenna Pod. So YouTube to podcast.

I’ve got it working for some things I follow where I dont need the visuals.

If you install Freetube you’ll be able to view Youtube and subscribe to channels without using an account.

Basically YouTube is the only that you can’t “degoogled” you will not find any alternative to watch videos of a lot of creators or search tutorial, explanations in it. Sadly…

Yeah YouTube is not possible to avoid.

I really hope that one day we’ll have another platform where you can just pay 2$ per month to every channel you subscribe to and all the great YouTubers open an alternative channel on that platform.

For now PeerTube and Odysee look like the best alternatives…

Written by foremanguy on 2024-10-31 at 15:06

Peertube is actually a really good alternative to YouTube and it means the return of the decentralized web! (Odysee is a good alternative too, but I don’t know if their maintainers are okay)

But the problem is that the creators would lost money if they do this for free, and people wouldn’t want to pay if they can have data mining videos for “free”

Well judging from what you see on Lemmy a lot of people would be willing to pay. What’s missing on Peertube is the ability for a creator to lock his videos behind a paywall in a « you wanna watch? Pay me » way.

Nick from the Linux Experiment was explaining that he was making something like 0.02 Euros per view on Youtube and that people supporting him directly were bringing so much more without being at the mercy of an algorithm.

Supporting him for 1 Euro a month is fine with the amount of what I’m watching from him on Peertube, paying 5 dollars a month to watch everything Linus Tech Tips produces on Floatplane is a bit too much for me…

YouTube anonymous and/or ad-free is fine I think. Especially if you’re not hooked in to everything else. Even with all their bullshit the last few years it’s only been one or two hiccups.

-ReVanced

-NewPipe

-Freetube

-yt-dlp

The beast can be controlled.
