There's an extension called "Redirector" which can pretty easily redirect links to Youtube videos to an Invidious instance of your choice instead with a rule like .*youtube.com/watch\?v=(.*) -> https://invidious.flokinet.to/watch?v=$1 (set it to pattern type "regular expression" if you use that one.)
It's strange that the Invidious UI is so much better, but until Google improves their version I feel justified in doing this.
I'm not a fan of YouTube,
and certainly not of Google (as you might have noticed...), but one thing I'm addicted to YouTube for is instrumental long playlists of music to work.
I. Need. It :blobcatheadphones:🎵
Since I'm always looking for new ways to deGooglelify my life:
Do you know of any PeerTube equivalent for this?
Are there any instrumental long playlists/mixes for work on any PeerTube instances?
Or maybe another Fediverse platform would be preferable for this?
@maegul@workreform I've been referring to this as "the single platform creator trap" - a creator who is trapped by their own belief that they can't control the value they bring, is stuck within one third-party online platform, and who doesn't fundamentally know how to recreate their success or take it elsewhere.
Creators who can make multiple platforms work always always always have way more control.
It's a self-imposed alienation from owning the means of production in Marxist terms.
