If in the future they make it completely impossible to use ad blockers I'll just stop actively using YouTube. I hope a good enough alternative comes around.

I've heard it is quite difficult to make one.

I remember when someone was laughing at me when i downloaded some niche videos that i liked to rewatch from yt because that someone thought that it will be there available and forever. Remember that they wanted to paywall 4K vids at some point.

You could give Odysee a try. I was pleasently surprised at how well it works, and how nice the UI/UX is. Especially considering it is a decentralized platform.

It's missing a lot of the content that youtube has. Especially if you trying to look up a specific video or niche topic. But there's still a lot of great content available if you are happy to browse.

Oh boy that website looks amazing, I'll be keeping an eye on it. I hope Youtube changes the direction it is going, but if it doesn't at least we have a couple alternatives, I also found out that the ''fediverse'' has its own alternative with PeerTube.
