YouTube expands age verification to more users. Several users are reporting on Reddit seeing new restrictions being applied to their accounts.

Why commit to them instead of finding alternative creators on a different platform?
There is no substitute for Hank Green.
Fine. Name alternatives for what YouTube is mostly used for and I’ll be the first to take your advise.
We are talking vlogs on huge amounts of topics, product reviews and unboxings, reaction videos, how-to tutorials, gaming videos (walkthroughs, live streams, etc.), ASMR and relaxation content, educational and explainer videos for science, history and finance… and so on.
There’s simply no true alternative.
What are you into?
The above.
My circle of family, friends and others will extend the list to music videos, health care (mental health and wellness, for example), the shorts, movie trailers, even Hallmark movies.
There is no platform other than YouTube that combines all this crazy amount of content.
There’s PeerTube with notoriously difficult onboarding for the average user and limited content, there’s Loops with extremely limited content… I really wish it were different.
Maybe one day existing platforms will rise. Looking at you, VIMEO, Kick, DailyMotion, DTube…
In the meantime, lets utilize other sources of videos like those at our local libraries, public domain hosts, archive websites, and open source federated video sharing platforms
Name one
What are you into?
Doesn’t matter. Name a single FREE alternative to YouTube with content worth watching.
Depends on the content you’re wanting to watch.
See, you can’t even just name something. Because it doesn’t exist.
So you’re looking for a service that spoon feeds you non-specific videos?
Do you have no opinions yourself? I don’t care what’s on it; what alternatives do you think exist?
I can give you the alternative if you tell me what you want to watch?
How about mtg gameplay, video game speedruns, beat battles, and vtubers? That’s pretty much all I use YouTube for these days, but I’d love to drop it completely.
I do cosplay, dollhouses, and dioramas, and peertube is pretty dead on that front.

Photography, Star trek, fountain pens
Photography, check out pixelfed
Star trek, check out https://www.trekbbs.com/
Fountain pens, check out https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/
Forums like the fountain pen one and and the photography one you suggested are a Reddit replacement. However, sometimes you want to watch a video though. So they’re not good YouTube replacements in my opinion.
Pixelfed is great as an Instagram replacement, but again no videos.
I looked through them before posting and the users there were sharing their information through different mediums, including videos.
I’ve never once seen a video on pixelfed, it’s a photo platform.
The others I’ll take a look
