[[[ 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)

FreeTube is a YouTube client for Windows, Mac, and Linux built around using YouTube more privately. You can enjoy your favorite content and creators without your habits being tracked. All of your user data is stored locally and never sent or published to the internet. FreeTube grabs data by scraping the information it needs (with either local methods or by optionally utilizing the Invidious API). With many features similar to YouTube, FreeTube has become one of the best methods to watch YouTube privately on desktop.

Oh thank you, I stand corrected.
