Congratulations!

Despite enjoying Peertube and Odissey, I never managed to do it.

What’s stopping you from using NewPipe, PipePipe, Tubular, SkyTube, FreeTube or SmartTube?

Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works on 19 Apr 07:49 next collapse

Not sure if I’m right, but the content would still come from YouTube.

Also, I want the creators to get paid so I don’t know if that would be the case with such tools.

NewPipe and PipePipe to my knowledge bring together different services, not just Youtube. There's also Grayjay in this vein.

And about supporting creators, I'd seek other means to support them, like bank transfers, Patreon, referrals, etc.

Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works on 19 Apr 20:59 collapse

Of couse I’m supporting creators from Peertube with Patreon, but it’s mostly bigger creators like Austin Evans or LTT (I know people hate him on Lemmy) that I watch on YouTube and I would feel dishonnest if I was watching their content without making sure they get paid in return.

It doesn’t appear that any of these are available for iOS.

You can use something like GrayJay, LibreTube, Pipepipe, NewPipe, etc. as an alternative to YouTube and SmartTube if you’ve got Android TV (there are alternatives for other OS’s as well but I don’t remember their names at the moment) and you can import all the history, playlists, and stuff in them so it isn’t a completely new feed. Otherwise, something like Odysee would be good if you don’t want the feed you have currently and would like to start from scratch though you can use those other alternatives for it as well.

We looked at Odysee, downloaded it and waitingbfor the “credits verification” thing. Not sure what that means but we’re guessing but we’ll try that out! As for YT alt clients, only device without an altclient is our iPhone (have to have it for iMessage atm for family who live in USA)

Those credits are for creators. You can redeem those for money, but I might be wrong here. Anyways, it’s been three days, how do you find it?

GarboDog@lemmy.world on 23 Apr 15:28 collapse

So far it’s more of a seperate thing than we expect from YT. Like there’s a plethora of small channels but we noticed there’s not a whole lot of people watching the new discovery and probably only the featured. Thankfully we did find a couple of channels that we watch from YT on Odysee too. I’m wondering, how does Odysee pay channels when there’s not much on the advertising front?

You can also import the channels you’re subscribed to on YouTube to Odysee along with your watch history. Note that only the channels available on both YouTube and Odysee will be imported. You can always use something like GrayJay if you want to watch all the channels you used to watch. You can also watch Odysee using GrayJay if you want to.

I’m wondering, how does Odysee pay channels when there’s not much on the advertising front?

I’m not sure but I think the revenue would mainly be from LBC tokens that viewers directly donate. Otherwise, there are things like Merchandise, paid content, members-only content, etc. But they seem to be removing LBC soon and they’ll use AR cryptocurrency for payments and monetization.

I got newpipe and subbed to all my subs, its a way better experience getting only what you want
