Replacing Youtube is really hard!
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. 🤥
Can’t help you content wise, but I run a private instance of Invidious which strips out ads and UX annoyances. I also use FreeTube as a front end which can also detect and remove sponsored content.
Still hitting their servers. So not doing much privacy wise, but it’s better than nothing.

I wouldn’t underestimate how much they are getting, technically but also legally, from a logged-in account using their interface. So using another interface and without having an account can already help a lot. They don’t want “just” the data to improve a profile, they also need some way to server back the ads to, otherwise it costs them but doesn’t bring money back. I imagine in such cases, especially in jurisdictions where ghost profiles are illegal, this does a lot already.
