It surely doesn’t help that YouTube has replaced broadcast TV for most people. You can’t even go back if you wanted to because TV is all but dead these days. Not unless you don’t mind 24-7/365 marathons of Ridiculousness on MTV, and nothing but reality TV and old shows catered to 80-year-olds on the remaining channels.
Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it

I find getting rid of YouTube to be incredibly difficult. I use both peer-tube and odysee as much as possible, but still find myself on YouTube more than I’d like. Of course, I’m only doing YouTube through a newpipe, but it’s still accessing YouTube.

Just a heads up, Odysee became bankrupt after its parent company LBRY (hyper ancap owners) did some illegal securities sale. It was then bought out by Arweave, which is a blockchain crypto scam company created and owned by Forward Research, which is owned by Sam Williams, who is another venture capital crypto techbro libertarian/ancap who at the same time bought a big NFT company, so unfortunately Odysee is no better than Google.
Peertube is great though.
