" since everyone else is happy with Youtube and other centralized services."
I also respectfully disagree, because YouTube consistently:
- recommends pop-culture content that can be found elsewhere, most specifically on cable
- recommends content I've already watched even though I'm logged in and they should know I've already watched it
- buries the content most relative to my interests
- gives me no means of adding or removing tags to help me filter my content
- has search functionality that constantly breaks when one applies filters (so you do a search, get a million results, sort by upload data and it returns 'no results found' W.T.F.
Hell I'd even settle for someone to just abstract the AI/tracking/algorithm and link to content on all of these sites so I don't see content on any ONE of them and can search across all of them. Why hasn't anyone done this? If someone has, please promote it more.

- RMPR 6y agoThat's why I use many accounts for YouTube, one for music, another one tech-related, ... using the multi containers extension of Firefox, this way, the recommendations become somewhat more relevant.
