Youtube hands down. Youtube is the best dad, best teacher, biggest information hub, and arguably the best meme generator in existence. The fact i can dive into any type of video content and come out feeling like i gained so much is incredible.

But it's not free. You pay for it either with money (premium) or your eyeballs (ads). Not to mention the analytics data.

Depending on how you look at it then yes its not free. Though you could use something like Libretube to prevent both ads and any form of analytical data from being collected.

Though other alternatives like revanced manager prevent ads and give premium benefits. Not sure about the analytical instance of it though.

You can use piped instead.

Its built on opensource. A youtube frontend without tracking, ads etc.

YouTube hardly classifies as free.

I haven't paid a cent for YouTube in my life. Wouldn't that mean it's free?

You either pay for the product or are the product.

This sentence was so used while being wrong because of free software

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

there's free as in beer, and free as in speech

You just have to curate the auto-suggestions. After a little while mine basically only suggests me educational/science videos and movie reviews/analysis.
