[[[ Solved - Using FreeTube for now ]]]

It seems youtube is breaking into the middle of long-form video much more often. And most of the ads are for snake oil - Fear mongering “Tinnitus will KILL your brain in three years” baloney.

Is there a Fediverse equivalent to YouTube? Can the Fediverse be applied to this? Will it solve the above complaint?

I have been to Odysee but with very few exceptions none of the content I want is there (They have Veritasium, and minute Physics, but not Vsause, Technology Connections, or Stand Up Maths)

    I use Firefox with UBlock and I don’t see any ads on Youtube. You should try this.

    As for a fediverse version of YouTube there’s peertube, but realistically hosting video is more expensive and you would never see a collection as large as YouTube on the fediverse IMO.

      Somehow my Ublock origin got turned off, I turned it back on. I use FreeTube to watch the channels I am subscribed to. I go to YouTube itself to watch things I search for.
