It’s not really focused on privacy. It’s focused to be independent from the YouTube client so it doesn’t matter if YouTube makes their platform worse.

You can’t search multiple platforms at once with newpipe. This is a bigger thing that you think.

Also it has recommendations

That’s basically what it is

No. At least not yet

It also has that. You can login with google

You don’t even need to subscribe and get recommendations

It’s not illegal though and Luis Rossman would totally sue back

Well in Germany it would be since a court has ruled out that YouTube DL is illegal

It’s actually the lables that are ripping off the artists.

Spotify isn’t profitable. They’re constantly losing money

Most people want a great discovering experience and viewing experience and a good looking and smooth UI.

Odysee feels laggy as hell.

But most people aren’t you.

You’ve never uploaded a video to YouTube have you? Their creator tools are actually incredible and their stats are a good way to tune their videos. Of course you shouldn’t completely rely on them.

Also it isn’t just the content. I rather use YouTube over Odysse, even if it’s the same content. It’s such a better experience, especially on mobile. Odysee is on the level YouTube was 10 years ago.

Also making a free video streaming site isn’t really profitable. I don’t know if YouTube still isn’t profitable, but I’ve read reports from 2015 that it still wasn’t profitable.

It makes sense that they now try to push things that make them money. They wouldn’t push ads so hard if they weren’t desperate.

They aren’t as good as YouTube though and that’s the problem. YouTube isn’t great. It’s just the best platform like this that we have.

Yeah haven’t thought of that, but they aren’t really YouTube alternatives. You don’t use them instead of YouTube, but as an addition.

That’s not possible though. There simply is no content on other platforms and they generally aren’t as good as YouTube and probably never will be.

The only platform I could see to rival YouTube in the future is Twitch

Honestly, I played around with it for a little bit and then never used it again. Of course one of the reasons was that it was so hidden and I simply forgot.

Probably not

I think so. Most people won’t have a problem doing that.

Plex originally was a fork of XBMC for MacOSX and had the name OSXBMC, but I doubt they nowadays use a lot of code from XBMC

Kodi is the new name of XBMC

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby, but Emby isn’t a fork of Kodi/XBMC. It’s even written in a completely different language. People were mad that Emby went closed source, so they forked the latest open source code and called it Jellyfin.

I guess it does. There probably is a plug in for kodi

By default it isn’t
