I prefer “list” view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

    PeerTube exists (and has for a while). It’s a federated alternative to YouTube that uses torrents to share video, rather than centralizing it in one server.

    The problem for creators is that they can’t make money off of PeerTube - thus there’s no incentive outside of making a Patreon.

      Isn’t Youtube itself getting to that point too? The way lots of Youtubers complain about it and push their Patreons and alternative subscription streaming services (Curiosity Stream/Nebula/Floatplane/etc.), it sure seems that way.
