I think it's ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.

Er. 'I am done with Google'. Watch the video on YouTube...
I like how Lemmy somehow still finds negativity here. Never change lmao.
An internet celebrity in the millions of followers is going FOSS. Cheer up. On the downstream, this may bring Lemmy more users and put more visibility on open software.
“I’m done with capitalism” he writes on a phone paid for with 😧 MONEY 👻

I mean where else is he going to reach the most YouTube/Google users?
For Pewdiepie this makes a lot of sense, he was literally the top youtuber. But uploading also somewhere else (no exclusivity required) needs to become mainstream yesterday. We have technical colleges far from the US posting educational video content for a website embed on youtube only, it's madness 😅

TLDR?
Generic degoogling/google alternatives video from Pewdiepie, but he won't get rid of Youtube.
I don't think there is much in the way of alternatives. Scaling to millions of users is very hard.
There are a few platforms. Nebula, Floatplane, Peertube. I think Patreon allows you to host videos directly on their platform too.
But none of these platforms offer free access plus a built-in ad function.
I don't think those are quite at the scale YouTube is. Video content for millions of uses is very hard and expensive.

Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.
I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.
There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.
