Yeah, I have been hearing about Youtube blocking ad blocks for a while now and I thought maybe Firefox + uBlock Origin is holding ads at bay for a while, but yeah, it happened today. uBlock origin has been unable to block some ads for me and I am thinking of leaving Youtube. I searched day and night (wink wink) for an alternative and I found odysee.com/ and it seems to be open source and less prone to censorship, I was wondering what you guys were using or thinking of switching too. I think Odysee is FOSS which is giant plus for me and I absolutely love it’s looks.
What do you guys think?
I’d want PeerTube to be the norm.
Until there is a reliable monetization path, most of the content won’t be natively there.
Similar issue to Odysee and the many failed startups who have tried to take on YouTube.
yeah, it’s pretty confusing and I doubt if that’s going to happen.
fragmentation seems to be huge here
It’s federated, just like Lemmy and KBin. You can subscribe to a Peertube channel from Lemmy.
The problem I see with peer tube is that the code isn’t very advanced, and I don’t think it would scale well enough to be a YouTube replacement at this moment.
Video federation requires allowing all CORS requests, Remote transcoding servers were only just added, and there’s no high-availability on a per-server basis.
Up to now it scales okay. And i had it wait and buffer videos way less than other video platforms. I’d say it’s perfectly okay.
