I’m not very familiar with those services but are they not relying on YouTube, and therefore still YouTube in a way?
edit before anyone argues, I know these alternative frontends bring many privacy advantages and many usability advantages (and disadvantages). But the content still comes from YouTube which is what my argument is about. I wouldn’t say an alternative frontend (or client for that matter) is not using YouTube…
You are very right, it’s just that saying “whoever invented the thing that’s better than what was before is Satan” is kinda unfair to be people who fought for the 8/8/8 system. The focus should be onto whom hinder or even regress progress
