Youtube just recently started giving me issues on Librewolf. I actually paid for Youtube Premium for quite a while, let it lapse a couple of months ago, and I've been just watching with the ad blocker on. Having to go back to running stuff through Google Chrome and watching ads made me want to research "how can I watch videos without Youtube being involved" for the first time.

Piped: piped.video Invidious: yewtu.be

Those would be good places to start, if you still want YouTube content without the YouTube front-end.

It might be a little surprising given what I literally just said, but I am not unreservedly in favor of just grabbing someone else's content from someone else's server and then playing it without the ads that pay for the hosting bills for the origin server.

I realize I'm probably in the minority in that, but I feel like a fully off-Youtube video hosting solution might be a better way.

Check if any of your favorite channels are on Nebula. If so, maybe there are other channels worth watching.

When I realized that, I’ve severely reduced my YouTube time. Actually, now it’s split among Nebula, Odsee, YT etc.
