LukeThis list is… fine, but unfortunately missing a number of good FOSS alternatives. Still, it’s good info for most of these categories.
Having said that, it’s eternally frustrating that infographics like these so often don’t recommend actual alternatives for YouTube specifically. It’s always just “keep using YouTube, but with these apps instead” which, that’s “fine”, but not exactly degoogling. It’s not even really a step towards degoogling, because you’re still tied to watching content from Google, so when that frontend stops functioning, you’re highly tempted to go back to using Google’s YouTube apps.
I feel like they did that with Youtube because there really aren’t any relevant alternatives. I mean there are alternatives but they’re really pretty small and niche so far.
You’re right, but also those alternatives will remain small and niche for longer the more people are not being directed to them as real alternatives.
There are creators slowly migrating their content to Peertube, for example. It would be nice for lists like this to be recommending that alternative more so those creators see interest rising there.
