  I use piped/newpipe etc. and simply support creators i watch via patreon/direct donations/merch. Less money for shitty ad company more money for creatives.

  Maps is the last one to replace. There are so many ads now that I’ll tolerate a lower quality alternative.

    There’s are some OpenStreetMap-based apps that are worth checking out. Some of them are made for specific purposes, while other are for general navigation. I’ve tried some of them through the time with various success, though I’ve still haven’t found a favorite to stick with for good. But I believe making the switch is definitely possible and probably worth it!

    You can install all the mentioned apps through F-Droid:

    • GraphHopper Maps
    • OsmAnd+
    • Organic Maps (hike/bike)
    • Alpi Maps (hike/bike)
    • SeaMapDroid (nautical)

    Additionally, use Transportr for public transport navigation almost anywhere in the world, and GMaps WV, a restricted WebView wrapper for accessing the web version of Google Maps. Intended for use when OpenStreetMap isn’t enough.)

    I can definitely recommend maps.me it’s a great app with default offline maps. It was a great tool when traveling abroad without internet

  Leaving YouTube specifically,

  grayjay.app

  I’ve been using it. It’s actually pretty great.

  This is true, I still use youtube and I don’t see it changing soon since there are no viable alternatives.

    Closest I’d say would be a service like Odysee. Can’t really say whether their practices are better than yt or not, but I can at least confirm I’ve found a few channels I don’t wanna sub to on yt also have accounts on Odysee. As to whether or not they made those accounts/channels is a different story.

    Personally, I can’t imagine what is on YouTub that’s worth watching. I don’t know, I haven’t used it in ages.

      I think that’s unfair, there is so much content there and so many content creators that saying there is nothing worth watching just comes out as snobbish.

      The sheer variety is the key to YouTube’s dominant position. Whatever subject you want to watch something about, there’s a very good chance you’ll find it.

      GraphHopper

      I can’t speak for your particular interests, but in my experience there is something for pretty much every niche. That’s what keeps YouTube in their dominant position as well.

  Nebula is a good alternative
