Hi! sorry for the random topic 😅

Youtube keeps getting more and more annoying. Is there a good other platform where to migrate? If people were to migrate, where would they go?

the thing I liked about youtube is the massive amount of content, and knowing that if I upload a video, it's really easy to watch by others. I like the ability to follow channels too.

Unfortunately, freetube development has gone stale and i keep getting random errors every now and then. I started using piped recently, but all their instances are now rate limited... so hopefully someone will pick up freetube development again (or release a similar client for desktop, perhaps based on the pipeextractor)

Aw I didn't realize that. It still works fine on my end. I get warning notifications in my windows VM, but everything still works. On Linux everything runs smoothly no errors. I think newpipe on Android is my most preferred implementation of a third party YouTube viewer so I'd love a desktop version of that.
