They’re entirely skippable if you "skip" Youtube altogether.

Time to jump ship to federated alternatives!

Best suggestions? :-)

Take your pick!

Theres also the peertube communities !peertube@lemmy.world !peertube@lemmy.wtf etc...

Take your pink... Okay but seriously? Fragmenting things all over the place does not help.

Im not sure what you mean?

The feed pulls from many fediverse locations. Enjoy the videos, subscribe to the channels you want to, and enjoy!

Wayyy ahead of you!

I think I took a look at that and found the content to be lacking. Am I confusing it with something else?

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Still lacking, yes, but less and less as people put more content on it.

Who the fuck still goes to YouTube?

[–] certified_expert@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Me. I don't understand peertube. I seem to have access to a handful of vids in French (?) and that's it. I see content fragmented across many servers that, if not added manually, I have no idea how to discover.
