I find getting rid of YouTube to be incredibly difficult. I use both peer-tube and odysee as much as possible, but still find myself on YouTube more than I'd like. Of course, I'm only doing YouTube through a newpipe, but it's still accessing YouTube.
There's nothing to see in Peer tube
Not with that attitude!
same for odysee
It would help a lot if more creators used it.
They have zero incentive to use it.
Makes no money for them, scalps what little they make from Youtube.
