I thought odysee is a better alternative for youtube and offers much more privacy. But it’s not. So disappointed.

Feeling hard to quit youtube because of other platforms doesn’t have much better or quality contents expecially no instance of peertube is truly usable. 🤥

    If you’re not watching it anyway, why choose a medium with video at all? Seems like the easiest thing to ditch YT with that kind of usage where the audio is actually what you’re needing.

        I just wrote a rather long comment to that person and now I’ve realized they are being purposefully obtuse.

        You playing the content on YouTube is entirely justified. Lots of people put the news on a television instead of a radio while doing things around the house, because occasionally something visual is referenced or something is said that seems interesting enough to look over at the screen.

        Besides, it’s not like the person that went through the effort of putting together a ten hour long essay is going to publish just the audio as a podcast or something.

        That person’s an egg head, you enjoy your essays.

      I binge video while working. Can’t explain why, it just helps. I find audiobooks and podcasts require a bit more concentration which distracts me from working. Some times I put music on but it doesn’t help as much as video.
