@thomasfuchs No alternative? Sounds like you are bowing to the mightiness of the unstoppable google. Better to say, "don't watch youtube, don't upload to youtube". If you ignore things like peertube, why even bother being on mastodon. You could equally argue there's "no alternative" to twitter.
@AvonVilla YouTube has, right now, a 99% market share of any creator-made video content. This means there’s literally no alternative to it _that has the content_.
I’d love it if creators would cross post to other platforms.
Alas, they almost never do.
