Alternatieve for youtube ? Have yet too find a good one 😞

The closest thing I've seen is lbry, where some creators have mirrored their YouTube accounts. But it feels like a very small number of them uploading there.

E to add: As with all alternative platforms, it's also home to a lot of content that was kicked off of more mainstream platforms for one reason or another.

Peertube. Youtube, but with federation and webhooks.

TILvidsis a peertube instance with a focus high quality educational content. There is vastly less content compared to YouTube but the videos that are there tend to be really good.

This should help you get started with peertube

For desktop I use the FreeTube client. For mobile, there's various options line NewPipe and Revanced. But these are all Android Only.

Newpipe supports federated video plataforms like peertube.

They asked for an alternative for youtube, not to youtube.
