I use ad blocker and brave on phone to access so it’s less cancerous but occasionally I see it unfiltered and good God is it awful.
I love the idea of peertube but it’s very awkward to use and people freak out about the P2P streaming. But a fediverse video site seems ideal: smaller instances so no one instance needs to be able to host extreme amounts of data… although there’s always risk that one instance becomes a monopoly and defederates from everything, and we’ll have the same issue again (actually I fully expect something like this to happen on fediverse in general).
Dailymotion is one option I guess? But I don’t see people talk about it much? Am I missing something?
There’s sleebi for ASMR but it’s a teeny tiny thing. Still paid for it tho.
None of course matter if there aren’t content creators actually making content. On the other hand, on a smaller platform more people have a chance to be seen.
If you’re willing to pay, Nebula is a streaming service setup by creators, without any ads or data harvesting/selling. The revenue goes directly to the creators. Their offer is still small, but quite a few creators I followed on Youtube I now follow there.
As a viewer, I like Nebula. As a creator, I can’t just “get on nebula” in the sense that I could on youtube (not that my content would fit with most of what they have anyway).
While understanding the gist, Nebula LLC is based in america, so it wouldn’t match the buyFromEU idea.
