    I dusted off an old laptop, put debian on it, put an SSD and now I have my own invidious instance, among other services…

    No ads, no throttling, no bullshit. Google is very welcome to suck it. I’d gladly stop using youtube, but there’s no competition.

      There is competition when it comes to technology stack. People just don’t want to use alternatives because the amount of content/users is less on others.

      Be the pioneer and help others move across.

      The no competition in the market, is the issue. Hope the situation improves in near future. With it innovations will gradually increase & the demand within the markets will point the directions.

        If everyone keeps expecting everything for free there will never be competition :)

          Or, there is plenty of competition even now, but since users are the product, not the customer, the competition isn’t what people think it is or should be.

      Thank you for reminding me to get myself an invidious instance set up. It isn’t a huge pain or anything, right?
