I wanted to list and ask for platforms that can substitute YouTube.

Here it’s:

  • NASA+, Space and Astronomy Videos.
  • Vimeo, Professional Videos and Documentaries.
  • TED, Talks and presentations.
  • PeerTube, there is not a lot of videos, but some creators upload there.
  • ARTE, Euro documantries and analysis.
  • RedBull TV, Sports related videos.
  • RTE Player, Journalism.
  • BBC videos, diverse topics.
  • NFB Films, Canadian Films.

    • Floatplane
    • Odysee
    • Tumble

    What I mostly use is peertube, but it only works once you’ve found the creatirs you enjoy (Linux Experiment, Gardiner Bryant and Veronica Explains for me).

      Hard pass for Dailymotion, with all respect to you if you are using it.

      My reasoning here being that, Dailymotion had stopped accepting individual creators uploads(only companies can upload) and that it loads every tracker on the planet earth whenever you visit them and that they don’t have comments.

      Most probably it will die by itself in 3-5 years.

    Great list actually. I use (and have paid for) grayjay which so far is great as a way to aggregate some of these. I’d also suggest Patreon, despite not being perfect in itself it has a lot of youtube creators on it so you dont have to give up certain creators

      Yeah. Such as: blocking the playback until the user disabled their adblocker, making it impossible to access 18+ content without signing up, repeatedly breaking third-party clients and frontends, apparently blocking the playback if the user is behind a VPN… I am now afraid they might eventually demand a login just to use the site at all. Doing my part in downloading everything I like at least.

      Youtube is owned by Google. People who are avoiding it typically do so for that reason, plus the enshittification of the platform over the past few years.
