I didn't realize how much worse YouTube has gotten since I last used it in 2019. Still, through Invidious I've been noticing that the comments on popular videos have gotten weird, especially in recent years. Also it seems like YouTube is deleting any comment that is even remotely negative. Because all I ever see anymore are generic positive praise comments. Meanwhile there are content farms out there that put out videos for "Kids" on a rapid pace that contain borderline sexual content. I wish more people would start using PeerTube because I have a feeling that YouTube won't be getting any better in the future.
Which shouldn't be a surprise since Chrome itself is just another one of Google's spyware products.
PeerTube even has nice features such as being able to share a clip with a start and end time and send it as a url. This is super handy when one wants to share a specific segment of a video without people feeling overwhelmed if the video is long. Open source once again actually making features and not anti-features.
I hope to run a personal PeerTube instance someday in the near future.
