YouTube expands age verification to more users. Several users are reporting on Reddit seeing new restrictions being applied to their accounts.
the internet fucking sucks so bad now oh my GOD
.
The thing about sites like these is that they are augmented by other sites like YouTube or Imgur.
If you live in the UK now, you won’t be able to open Imgur links, catbox rarely works and YouTube requires age verification.
There are of course alternatives, but they’re barely used.

I don’t understand why people are so afraid to ditch YouTube
A lot of creators I watch are YouTube exclusive with their content.
If they were on Peertube, I’d delete YouTube in a heartbeat.
But I also understand that a lot of them make their living off ad revenue, so I don’t blame them for staying.
Why commit to them instead of finding alternative creators on a different platform?

Photography, check out pixelfed
Star trek, check out https://www.trekbbs.com/
Fountain pens, check out https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/
Forums like the fountain pen one and and the photography one you suggested are a Reddit replacement. However, sometimes you want to watch a video though. So they’re not good YouTube replacements in my opinion.
Pixelfed is great as an Instagram replacement, but again no videos.
If you want to transfer every video to a different service, be my guest.
I mean, it gives you tools to export your videos out.
Cool. You should probably get started. There’s a lot of videos.
I don’t have any youtube videos to export. Do you want me to export yours?
If you would, thank you. Here’s the list:

And everyone else’s. People don’t go elsewhere because the creators they like are on YouTube. Speaking as someone with Peertube and Nebula.
Well we can start looking for creators that respect privacy and freedom of their viewers, ig
You’re asking them to put their livelihood on the line for your privacy. They’re gonna choose the thing that pays their bills every time.
