I’m not on YouTube’s side. But, ultimately Youtube has the advantage here. You guys are talking about technical solutions to get YouTube to continue sending you videos. But, YouTube has the nuclear option in their back pocket. Enshitification, YouTube is one of the only platforms that still works well on the internet without an app or logging in. If they want to badly enough they’ll stop allowing people to use YouTube signed out and ban accounts that watch with Adblock enabled.

We need to work on building platforms that work outside of Google. I think the hardest question is how would that work with monetization for new/smaller creators.

Odysee is the alternative, the plus, you can download almost every content, but the downside that are uploaded almost every content, no censored. Based on blockchain, that means that it works for the eternity and none of the content can be deleted, which also has + and -, because of a lot o cuestionable content, well, in YT is the same problem.
