Hi everyone!
I’ve almost entirely degoogled my life, except for Youtube.
Here are my center of interests and some channels I follow:
- Linux: The Linux Experiment, Tech Hut
- Basketball: NBA, Andy Hoops, Heat Check, Jonny Arnett, BasketNews
- Cars: Throttle House, Everyday Driver, Car and Driver
- Console Gaming: GamingBolt, IGN
- Tech: Linus Tech Tips, Techquickie
Concerning Linux, it has been easy to find alternatives to YouTube as The Linux Experiment is on PeerTube and I can support him for 1$ a month Through Patreon.
Tech Hut is on Odysee so I could watch his videos here and support him through Buy Me A Coffee or something similar if I wanted to.
I know I could watch everything from the Linus Tech Tips on Floatplane but 5$ a month is a bit too expensive.
Do you have any suggestions about anyone producing similar content to what I’ve described above (Basketball, Console Gaming, Cars and Tech) that I could watch on a YouTube alternative?
I don’t mind paying 1-2$ a month for a channel I enjoy but I can’t pay more for now 😇
Unfortunately it has the “Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot” issue like 99% of the clients. That’s what I meant in “dead”. Also it’s not the most privacy-protecting one by far.
I’ve never had NewPipe present me with a sign in prompt or any bot challenges, that’s a very strange scenario to be facing.
Not everyone faces it but a lot of people do. That error means that Google noticed you’re using a custom client and IP banned you from watching without signing in.
