Today in a Privacy community a post about YouTube. No word about privacy but all about which software or settings are needed to watch videos and the money needed to host videos. It made me wonder whether some of you can lead a meaningful life without YouTube. Or will a cold turkey bring the worst out of you ?

    Yes/no.

    I lived without YouTube / a Google account for years.

    But I still use YouTube through a privacy respecting frontend:

    I usually go for:

    • On desktop: Invidious or Piped
    • On Android: Tubular or NewPipe
