We don't have to watch YouTube... :)

Sadly, this is not simple like this. Of course, there is "haha I will touch grass now", but there are pieces of content that are needed yet there's no analog elsewhere. Disassembly guides for random pieces of tech. Lectures. Task breakdowns from competitions. A lot of things the original uploaders put there and just forgot.

Youtube has far too much held hostage.

YouTube doesn't have a monopoly on live streams

watching less youtube was one of my resolutions this year, it’s not going very well. remind me to skip the trash and watch more movies / read more books instead

i had that same resolution last year, and in the end youtube drove me away from YouTube, I watch about 1 video every two months but even that is usually just for nostalgic reasons. I have no desire to watch YouTube anymore, even though I used to watch at least 5 hours a day. All that because of their anti consumer actions.
