I was annoyed by this. Check out FREETUBE which is a private youtube client for pc, mac and linux. No ads and 100% private - take that google

Really hoping some IPFS alternative takes off. Youtube has already been tanking in quality but no one changes because its a monopoly on online videos.

And if Twitter has shown us anything, it's that people legitimately won't leave a crappy platform unless there's a significant popular and better alternative that can scale immediately to demand.

It appears YT is the new cable television. Let's see if it follows it to the grave.

I'll watch from the sidelines, enjoying my subscription to nebula.
