YouTube, or JewTube, is a video propaganda website, since 2006 owned by [Google](google.md). It has become the monopoly "video platform", everyone uploads their videos there and so every one of us is forced to use the site from time to time. YouTube is based on video content consumerism and financed from aggressive ads and surveillance of its users.
A [FOSS](foss.md) alternative to YouTube is e.g. [PeerTube](peertube.md), a federated video platform, however for intended use it requres [JavaScript](javascript.md). There also exist alternative YouTube [frontends](frontend.md) (normally also FOSS), e.g. HookTube, Invidious or FreeTube -- these let you access YouTube's videos via less [bloated](bloat.md) and more privacy-friendly interface. More hardcore people use [CLI](cli.md) tools such as [youtube-dl](youtube_dl.md) to directy download the videos and watch them in native players.
