Doesn't matter. Name a single FREE alternative to YouTube with content worth watching.

Depends on the content you're wanting to watch.

See, you can't even just name something. Because it doesn't exist.

So you're looking for a service that spoon feeds you non-specific videos?

Do you have no opinions yourself? I don't care what's on it; what alternatives do you think exist?

Plenty of videos on loops, peertube, archive sites, libraries, and public domain sites

2 months later, the alternative is anything else except YouTube. Maybe even nothing at all.

Some nice alternatives are local libraries, public domain hosts, archive websites, and open source federated video sharing sites/apps

How about mtg gameplay, video game speedruns, beat battles, and vtubers? That's pretty much all I use YouTube for these days, but I'd love to drop it completely.
