• Open source, decentralized and federated banana • May 2019 Disagree   Agree
• Open source AND decentralised means it can never turn against the userbase. Guest • Apr 2019 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Peertube is federated, which means anyone with the know-how can host their own instance of peertube where they can upload videos to, and anyone on another peertube instance can find their server/account and view their videos. For an example of a federated service already in use, look no further than Email. swedneck • Jul 2018 • 29 agrees and 8 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• It does not have very many videos on it at all! I searched Minecraft and multiple other subjects and came up empty! Guest • Apr 2019 • 6 agrees and 4 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Not bad. its federations of multiple links of different sites and different video hosting places. But, there are some issues like lack of functional issues to like; simplistic navigation, more proper view-able UI, and loading times. Overall? Not bad. Guest • Oct 2019 Disagree   Agree
• Peertube has (nearly) all important features that youtube offers, while it provides us with a platform, that is ours in our hands Guest • Apr 2018 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• It has most of the important features that youtube offers and also a free product without ad's. joseph_mathew • Jul 2019 Disagree   Agree
• It's a free and federated alternative that anyone is free to self-host or not. It even works with a mastodon account! Guest • Mar 2019 Disagree   Agree

NewPipe

NewPipe is a lightweight YouTube front-end for Android. It doesn't need the YouTube-API or any Google Play Services, as NewPipe only parses the YouTube website...

• NewPipe is an app that uses plays YouTube videos. It relies on YouTube. It is not a separate video network. Guest • Apr 2019 • 23 agrees and 6 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• What could be a better alternative to watching YouTube than watching YouTube without all the nasty Google spying going on? NewPipe brings exactly that to the Android platform. I'm very happy it exists. Use this instead of Google's YouTube app to prevent Google constantly monitoring what you like to watch. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 37 agrees and 11 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• NewPipe isn't an alternative to YouTube, but rather to YouTube's Android APP. It's packed with features the official app doesn't have all while being lighter on resources and having no spying on the client side. pabloalcr • Oct 2017 • 19 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• NewPipe is an alternative to the Youtube app for Android: it supports background playing of Youtube videos in order to listen the audio only, allows to reduce mobile data usage and to download videos Danilo_Venom • Aug 2019 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• It's just a great youtube frontend, for android users. Can watch & download all content, without all the heavy google overhead. Wish I could find something similar for windows! Guest • May 2020 Disagree   Agree

• Censor free, easy to use, and fun. Would recommend. Guest • Jul 2019 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• d.tube is youtube but without centralization and with crypto exchanged as views IIRC. It has the best interface of any youtube competitor and seems to have a business model that will payoff. lorendias • Mar 2018 • 5 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• No censors, so you can listen to mrbeast swear all the time! Guest • Apr 2020 Disagree   Agree
• D.Tube makes monetization easy and fair Guest • Feb 2018 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Sadly, because of the sharing model, the video size limit on DTube is 1GB, which is not really enough for good quality gameplays, so it's not a good alternative for gamers. Guest • May 2018 • 1 agrees and 5 disagrees Disagree   Agree

IPFSTube

IPFSTube is a player and uploader for videos, stored in the distributed IPFS network.

• It's not a good alternative to YouTube because the idea is upload a video, get a link and share it. That's it. It doesn't have a interface that you can search for videos and etc. Basically, it doesn't have the "social network" that YouTube has. Guest • Jan 2019 • 9 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree
