I mostly use Youtube for no commentary gameplay videos, it worls quite well for that. No reason to hunt other platforms when I always find that stuff on Youtube without hassle.

And yes i know that ad blockers exist, but i like the idea better to not buy the products which are advertised there.
If you use an adblocker, which is free, you aren't going to buy the stuff advertised as you don't see the advertisement. So doesn't an adblocker actually support your idea?

Nah - in that case i wouldn´t know what products are advertised there - and i don´t buy stuff because there is an ad about it either. I tried an ad blocker - probably the ad blocker - and it didn´t really work, so i deleted it after a short time. Also this way i wouldn´t watch too many bad videos, which are just about the ads really. So it´s kind of ok - i´ve not got the feeling that i´m missing out on something.

Also with ad blocker - people watch more of the content - instead of making Youtube, or the content creators, think of changing the policy about the ads, because nobody would watch those videos. Creating and sharing content is one thing. Doing it mainly for the money, or some fame, is another thing.

Because no one has made a good enough competitor yet

The problem I got with adblockers is that too much people using them cuts into the content creator's ad revenue.

I mean, if I enjoy the content. I can, at the very least, mute the ad and let it run while I check my mails or whatever until I can either skip it or the video resumes. As long as the ad is physically there, the "view" is in and rest is irrelevant.

There is without a doubt a lot of "stupid crap" on Youtube, but there is also a lot of very informative and/or interesting content on there also. A few examples: science channels like Kurzgesagt, Smarter Everyday, PBS Spacetime, or Veritasium, news sources like DW or Wall Street Journal, any number of channels focused on 'cultural discovery' such as (in the food realm) Best Ever Food Review Show or Food Ranger, history channels like Oversimplified, random subjects of interest such as CGP Grey, any number of channels that provide "how to" guides such as car repair or surgery (most surgeons these days make regular use of Youtube as part of their jobs) and many other channels with a variety of subject matters that are informative.

Because it is a handy resource.
I love teardown videos and watching computers / electronics being torn down and taken apart, that kind of thing.

I like gameplay videos and random science stuff.
I also like movie trailers.

Any good alternatives with a decent numbered userbase?

I don't believe there is. Even if there was, content creators want to be paid and without advertisements paid by businesses (big and small) then why go to the trouble of making good content for free.

Even if they was, over time it would just become another youtube that needs to be advert friendly to lure in the money.

There is a ridiculous amount of content on it, even after all things that have been lost from it.

It is what you make of it.

Just wish it was designed better. I mean damn, how many yachts has that thing paid for so far?

Depends on the content. Some do live things, and it´s imho insane what some get with donations. I mean they´re doing it good - but even with few viewers they get like 500 bucks in an hour. So You can make content with donations to make a living, because some people know that it takes money and time to create content. And i´m sure that those people don´t even do it mainly for the money - else they would do everything to get as many clicks as possible.

So instead of using ads - and selling data, they could also add some donation button. And if the amount You get is connected to the number of people who watch it anyway - it doesn´t lead to overall worse or better content. And that it is all about the money in the end, is more about the greed of companies, and the way companies advertise their products, which won´t lead to better products either.

There´s also another solution to promote creativity in general, and to give the people another option than to make money out of everything, but i don´t want to derail the thread. :o)

The popularity, sadly. FOSS and otherwise decentralised platforms can't compare for the most part, however, if I ever was a "content creator", I'd only upload there.



If you don't like YouTube and you're concerned about Google's privacy invasion, you may check out Invidious[github.com]. It lets you browse the service without megabytes of proprietary javascript or ads. I recommend using an actual media player to actually watch videos, but it isn't necessary if you don't find that practical.

It isn't for everyone, and I simply wanted to point out a FOSS project if anyone's interested to detox their data footprint and whatnot.

Piped[github.com] is a similar project, however it's over-reliant on javascript and works very differently. Still, it's another option for this sort of thing.

what is a better platform than Youtube?
vidlii

Just tried this one and odysee that someone mentioned below looking for Mazda CX30 reviews. Vidlii returned No results at all and odysee returned some cx30 related videos but none were review videos and were promotionals or announcement videos of the vehicle.

Hence this is why I use YouTube. I haven't found a comparable substitute
