Yeah, I have been hearing about Youtube blocking ad blocks for a while now and I thought maybe Firefox + uBlock Origin is holding ads at bay for a while, but yeah, it happened today. uBlock origin has been unable to block some ads for me and I am thinking of leaving Youtube. I searched day and night (wink wink) for an alternative and I found odysee.com/ and it seems to be open source and less prone to censorship, I was wondering what you guys were using or thinking of switching too. I think Odysee is FOSS which is giant plus for me and I absolutely love it’s looks.

What do you guys think?

    The problem I see with peer tube is that the code isn’t very advanced, and I don’t think it would scale well enough to be a YouTube replacement at this moment.

    Video federation requires allowing all CORS requests, Remote transcoding servers were only just added, and there’s no high-availability on a per-server basis.

      Up to now it scales okay. And i had it wait and buffer videos way less than other video platforms. I’d say it’s perfectly okay.
