Yeah, don't help the beast by feeding it your content. If you have to watch something on Youtube, you can use Invidious.

How is Invidious any better?

There is also Bitchute, D.tube, and maybe others. They all feature centralized access points, no different in vulnerability to censorship.

If I were to choose where people move next, I'd go for Diaspora, Freenet, or some bittorrent-like protocol with dedicated client apps, crypto accounts and comment sections.

I've been using invidious and wish more people would. Then more content will originate there and it's bye-bye youtube.

Something I have wondered: If someone watches a video on Invidious, does that view count on the creator's video viewcount on YT?

I wondered the same thing. My dislike of what youtube is doing to creators of content is enough to make me overlook any guilt I feel about not giving my views to those whose efforts I admire. Let them ditch youtube and post on invidious so we can finally forget youtube.
