I do like watching videos on theses platforms but if your someone who wants to create gaming or random videos then youtube feels overcrowded. is there a less overcrowded, option to look into, and im still debating if i should watch videos or make videos as a hobby. you all got any tips or suggestions aswell by chance?

There is peertube, and for twitch I mean owncast exists... Odysee is also highly recommended.

Odysee actively delists those people AFAIK... however Odysee I dont think is FLOSS, thus peertube is on a higher list than odysee... However peertube production value is still lacking in comparsion to odysee... (I do not have any political affiliation)

Youtube and other sites, like reddit rely on people using them and creating stuff to keep people around, odysee and peertube are no different in that regard.

I don't really use them because most of the people I like are on Youtube, and there are pretty good youtube clients.

so would you suggest i try odysee what kind of stuff is even on there?

I would definitely suggest it. Just keep in mind not all the content you can find on YT is on Odysee yet. But I've found content ranging from tech/programming/linux all the way to gardening guides and discussions
