And Linus owns it... something he kind of glosses over with the term "sister companies" They might be sisters, but he's the daddy.

True, but I was purposefully not including that.

Linus has said (dont quote me) once he prefers not to admit to it openly much (thus he glosses over it) though he has admitted on occasion and people know but he does not want people to think LMG (not Linus) has direct control over the company, as in so not to think its biased towards LMG content.

Yeah that makes sense.

Hi there,

 

Does Linus Media Group have a youtube alternative?

 

For 4 weeks now, youtube is broken for me. I don't receive email notifications and as a result, I'm missing a lot of videos now. I've sent youtube feedback like 100 times now, but even that function is only working 20% of the time.

 

It sounds like YouTube is dying, so any other platform I can use to keep seeing these videos?

 

Thanks.

There is a 3rd party youtube client. Youtube vanced, its much better, tou should give it a try. It even has a sponsor block that uses crowd sourced data to block annoying sponsor segues.................

Gave it a shot, needs too much security settings disabled for me to trust this. Besides, it really is not the problem. I have the same problem on the website, and I run pihole anyway, so I don't have an ad problem.

Using email as main notif place is kinda boomerish

No its not. I use it as a daily workflow. Every notification I get, I open the video and add them to my watch later using keyboard and mouse when I have a spare moment during work.

 

Now I have to do that on my phone which means that if I don't want to do it, the notifications pile up and I lose track. So currently, I say: screw it, and I just swipe away those notifications, which means that I'm also swiping away LTT videos hoping that I don't forget to add them later which I'm seeming to forget. So yes, it pains me to say it, but I'm not watching as much LTT videos because of this.

 

Youtube really is dying to me.

 

Also, I am a content creator myself, although I don't have enough subscribers to be counted as a content creator to youtube, so no premium support, but since about 4 weeks, I see that my videos are not watched that much anymore. Its hurting me in so many ways.

Yeah.. This was a bit of a trigger for a rant I did elsewhere.  While in some cases it makes sense to downplay it, in others, editorial spaces, I feel it can be dishonest to disguise that source of bias.
