In addition to the others elsethread, there's also Nebula; which goes for being creator-owned, not suppressive of minority content (which has seen it banned by LG as a consequence), and subscription model rather than advertisement model.

Nebula might be an alternative to YouTube in general, depending on your use of YouTube, but for the purposes of this discussion, it's still American owned.


For the purposes of this discussion one of its creator-owners is Devin Stone, one of the people in the vanguard of publicizing and opposing what is happening in the U.S.A. right now.

Which is good for Devin, though the ownership of nebula is a little complicated and basically that amounts to a 1/7 share of voting power:

I think several of the other cofounders (e.g. Wendell, also the guy from real engineering) seem likely to be decent people too.

But also, for the purposes of this discussion, we're talking about the ability of a capricious US president to make access difficult, and a bunch of YouTubers and a documentary maker are not going to have the resources to stand up to the US federal government.


>banned by LG

LG? you mean the tv company?


Yes. They run their own OS and app store, Nebula had an app there, and this ban relates to that.
