LBRY is a separate service, Newpipe and Freetube are third party apps, and Invidious is an alternative frontend. kinda confusing to put them all together

I think the 'adblocker wrapper'-type is an imperfect ally as long as seperate services like LBRY and Peertube aren't popular enough. I think first we'll go through phase like when TikTok got introduced and Meta gave Instagram Stories and Google gave YouTube Stories where content is spread over a few services. You can already see a bit of overlap where content creators share the same content on paid platforms (thinking of Nebula) or share additional content on platforms like Patreon. I'm afraid being on youtube (and in its algorithms) drives so much traffic to a video that a creator cannot afford not to be there. Especially not the independent ones that rely on Google's ads as a base of income.
