What do you make of the YouTube alts? Rumble, odysee, peertube, Bitchute? (Etc).

I believe there's a lightning plugin to peertube, but havent tried it. Nostr login would be cool. I believe alex also uses:
Oh 👀Not actually checked that one out, will have a look. Cheers.
PeerTube is the only worthwhile one at the moment, but it's still not very good. YouTube is extremely hard to decentralize because of the cost of doing so. Odysee's LBRY protocol tries to incentivize people to pay expensive hosting costs by awarding them shitcoins. PeerTube is an awkward ActivityPub implementation with a poor UI made by French people. However, it's currently the best option that exists since it is self-hosted and it can tap into the Fediverse.
Relevant to this, in case of interest to anyone 🤔
i been youtuber almost from the start of YouTube but i think we need to give up on Video

web page format consisting of text, pictures and occasional short, low-resolution videos is infinitely more dense in terms of content to data ratio. probably about 100 times more dense.
we just need to accept that we don't need video except for things like body cam footage of a police shooting ... and porn.
Peertube. My plan is to add Nostr next to the hive-tube plugin, and rebrand the plugin since hive has turned into an oligarchy. Cross-app cross-network aggregated comments and zapping the streams is where it's at!
