If this is true: anyone got alternative apps to YT on android? Voting with my wallet.

  People often say Odysee is a good alternative but it was acquired by Google so it has the same issue as Youtube. Then there is Rumble but it's a much poorer experience and somewhat of an echo chamber but that seems to be changing as a more diverse group of non-political creators move over there.

IIRC, Odysee is a somewhat curated interface to some kind of blockchain that can't be censored. So I'm guessing that even if a video is taken down from it, it may still actually be accessible at the lower layer. IMHO, some kind of active moderation is absolutely required for video/images, given the very real possibility for immoral and illegal content that I absolutely do not want to stumble upon. So Odysee strikes me as about the most permissive tradeoff that can be tolerated.
