Basically they want to add AI tools to make AI generated shorts and videos.

Edit: changed to a similar article that at least has a preview

    Huh? That’s… still YouTube, just curated. We thought you had meant an entirely non-Google video platform; leaving YT completely is the goal. All I can think of is PeerTube, or the paid service Nebula.

    By the way, ads are easy to defeat: use any Firefox-based browser (like Firefox or Waterfox) with AdNauseam, or NewPipe on Android. You don’t need FreeTube for that (although I do also try to remember to use FreeTube anyway, haha).

      A lot of the indie animators I follow aren’t on Peertube, only youtube and usually patreon. I’d love to support them all, but it’s not feasible on my salary.

        My bad: I didn’t see that you’re not @Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone (the original parent commentator in this chain), whose video sources I’m now wondering about. Leaving YouTube itself, entirely, is the major hurdle for us all in this case.

          Honestly I don’t have much to suggest. I kind of just do without a lot more now. I always do like to suggest checking out fmhy.net. Check out the streaming section on this page and you may come across something you like as an alternative. Sorry I couldn’t be more specific for suggestions but that page also has a lot of ways to avoid all of YouTube’s bullshit too here’s the link https://fmhy.net/video
