Hi, my post is focusing specifically on YouTube since I observed the following categories have less intrusive solutions or privacy focused solutions, even if they are paid: - Operating Systems (Linux, for example) - Instant Messaging (Element, for example) - Community Messaging (Revolt, for example) - E-Mail (Proton, for example) - Office (libreoffice, for example) - Password Managers (Bitwarden, for example) However, how do we distribute videos and watch them without data collection? I am NOT asking how do I use a privacy-focused front-end for YouTube, by the way, I am aware they exist. I am wondering how we obtain a FOSS solution to something super critical such as YouTube. It is critical since it contains a lot of educational content (I'd wager more than any other platform), and arguably the most informative platform, despite having to filter through a lot of trash. During COVID, we even saw lecturers from universities upload their content on YouTube and telling students to watch those lectures. (I have first-hand experience with this at a respectable university). I refuse to accept that there is nothing we can do about it.
