Alternative for YouTube? (lemmy.world)

I watch YouTube when I eat etc. I pretty much solely watch gameplays. Is there any alternative? Or an opensource way to view YouTube? I don't want to use Twitch because Amazon and I grew out of enjoying streamers in my late teens and it's been a while since.

Edit: I don't ever use it on mobile. Desktop via Firefox only.

Take a look at Odysee. I even have a browser extention that redirects me from youtube to the video on Odysee if it is avilable their.

Looks very clean. But the issue to me and with a lot of new social media sites is the lack of population and thus the lack of content. I'll try to stick to Lemmy and give it a chance but yeah it is a huge barrier of entry for new competitors.

Just use the addon so when there is a video on YouTube also available on Odysee it will automatically switch to Odysee.

The platform makes it very easy for creators to simply duplicate their YouTube channel.

And lastly, how are we ever going to get an alternative to YouTube if people refuse to use the alternative.
