I started routing all of my system traffic through Tor recently, which made YouTube nearly impossible to watch. So, my watching time on YouTube has dropped, and I have started watching more Rumble, Odysee, and PeerTube.
How do you find them as replacements?
Harder to find content, but otherwise alright. I was honestly a little bit surprised at how many channels I did find that I follow on YouTube were already on Odysee or Rumble. Though I used to watch two channels about the US cellular networks such as AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon that are not on any of the other platforms. So I just lost that content.
Good to know that Odysee is a legitimate alternative.
