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
