| [PeerTube](https://joinpeertube.org/) | | Decentralized, federated video hosting network. Still quite small, but is growing and has a dedicated community. Although there is no central database/server, all the separate instances can still talk to one another. This allows for data exchange and a way to view anyone's videos while only associating with one instance. Thanks @kdkasad for clarifying federation. |
| [BitChute](https://www.bitchute.com/) | **5-eyes** | Also P2P, but not decentralized. Due to it being proprietary, if BitChute goes down then the whole thing goes down (unlike PeerTube). (thanks u/up-sky-7) |
| [DTube](https://d.tube/) | | Looks very similar to YouTube. Advertised as "first crypt-decentralized video-platform". Built on Steemit and IPFS. |
| [Bit.tube](https://bit.tube/) | | Appears to be a crypto-powered decentralized video sharing service. (thanks u/rudolf323) |
| [Invidious](https://invidio.us/)<br/>[](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious)<br/> | | An open-source front-end alternative to YouTube. Seems to work pretty well from my experience so far, and it hasn't triggered *anything* on my adblocker/privacy extensions. Also offers downloads in many formats for videos (including `.vtt` subtitles). |
| [Hooktube](https://hooktube.com/) | | A slightly better way to use actual YouTube. (Use as a "last resort") |
| [LBRY](https://lbry.com/)<br/>[](https://github.com/lbryio)<br/> | | A decentralized platform for distributing and supporting creators's work. It aims to be Open, Community driven "digital marketplace". It can be used in a similar way to YouTube: browsing, subscribing to channels, there is a mechanism to send "tips" to creators. Looks up videos based on a blockchain and is open-source and uncensored. It already has some "larger" creators like Minutephysics, Veritasium, Barnacules and Lunduke. |
| [FreeTube](https://freetubeapp.io/)<br/>[](https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube)<br/> | | Open-source desktop YouTube client that uses the Invidio.us API to serve content. |
| [youtube-local](https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local)<br/>[](https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local)<br/> | | Open-source browser-based client for watching Youtube anonymously and with greater page performance. Non-video requests can be routed through Tor. Optionally the videos can be routed through Tor as well. Can be used without Javascript. No server software installation required. Uses self-hosted subscriptions and playlists. |
