what is the alternative to youtube? - eviltoast

Hi! sorry for the random topic 😅

Youtube keeps getting more and more annoying. Is there a good other platform where to migrate? If people were to migrate, where would they go?

the thing I liked about youtube is the massive amount of content, and knowing that if I upload a video, it’s really easy to watch by others. I like the ability to follow channels too.

    TT frontend that uses its own API And doesn’t need JS

    How is any of that possible? Can you explain?

    1. how can it deliver content from YouTube without accessing their APIs?
    2. how can it be a functional website without JavaScript?

      I am not sure but possibly the HTML5 features such as the video tag are sufficient to let the browser offer basic media playback capabilities without requiring JS.
