[[[ Solved - Using FreeTube for now ]]]

It seems youtube is breaking into the middle of long-form video much more often. And most of the ads are for snake oil - Fear mongering "Tinnitus will KILL your brain in three years" baloney.

Is there a Fediverse equivalent to YouTube? Can the Fediverse be applied to this? Will it solve the above complaint?

I have been to Odysee but with very few exceptions none of the content I want is there (They have Veritasium, and minute Physics, but not Vsause, Technology Connections, or Stand Up Maths)

Personally, the alternatives to youtube simply don't have a big enough amount of creators I watch.

I've settled on NewPipe on Android and FreeTube on linux, since both are really nice FOSS clients providing a good Youtube experience without the ads.

Also have a Nebula subscription since the majority of creators I watch on YouTube have a profile there
