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.

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

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