A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

How can he be done with Google and still posting YouTube videos?

Sure, but other platforms do exist, and he could post to those as well as YouTube. Other creators do, such as Gardiner Bryant to PeerTube and Louis Rossmann to Odyssee.

If he really hated Google, wouldn't he be motivated to invest his time into its competitors? Maybe he does, idk, I didn't watch the video because I'm not a fan of his style and I generally try to avoid YouTube.

Because YouTube has a monopoly for the most part

watch the video and you will find out wink

I prefer not to use youtube

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Figure it out then

[–] ptu@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

I don’t care if enough so I would, I just found this amusing

[–] rozodru@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

freetube, invideous, if someone reuploads it somewhere on peertube, ytdlp, ytfzf, etc many ways to consume youtube content without google making a dime of you or tracking you. I'm lazy so I just use freetube.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

invideous and similar can be used

[–] dieTasse@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Me too, but I make exceptions for a good content.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

Same, but this isn't that, so I won't bother.

[–] bastion@feddit.nl 0 points 1 day ago

then don't ask questions you can find out in other comments.

Literally his income source

[–] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I understand why he doesn't leave youtube but why not reposts on alternatives for people who want to limit the use of youtube

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 16 hours ago

If he did the alternative would be instantly crushed
