In the case of PeerTube, not worrying about Google age-gating or straight-up yanking your content if you tick them off is a good start, basically, you'd actually own your content posting on PeerTube instead of YT.
If I'm remembering this right it was maybe two, I didn't count.
YouTube, and one technically exists in the form of PeerTube, with PlasmaTube being a good client for PeerTube.
That's why I consider that tagline, 'The Land of the Free,' to be the failed punchline of a bad joke now. It hasn't meant anything since before Reagan took office at least.
Not Just Bikes.
NJB's praise of their infrastructure would have me sold on them if I could actually flee the US.
Canon FD 70-210mm f4 adapted to an Olympus E-M5 at the time, and I also added a Kodachrome 200 film sim haldCLUT to it in RawTherapee.
Assuming such a ring exists, I could probably attach an M42-FD adapter ring to my current lens adapter (which is now being used with a Panasonic GF2 as the camera that snapped this pic has since died of a stuck shutter) and use M42 glass without having to get a new adapter, which the adapter used in this shot is a Fotasy FD-M4/3.

A modeling clay scene I made a while back of a bunny taking a stroll in mid-winter.
60sec long-exposure.
Puppy would fly on there, or even DSL 2024. Heck, both those distros would fly even on a Pentium 4 of all things.
A bunny shot from my raw image file backlog that I went ahead and edited.
Thanks!
PeerTube seems fine for a YT alternative (only because it's pretty much either it or Odysee, that's what happens when you have an effective monopoly on user-generated content like YT does, and PeerTube IMO needs to take off sooner rather than later given how ridiculous YT's censorship has gotten lately), and then of course Lemmy (this platform) is looking really good so far as a Reddit alternative and I've only been on it for a day now, ditto for Pixelfed as an Instagram alternative.
And then of course there's Mastodon for a Twitter/Facebook alternative.
Also, Matrix seems fine for a Discord alternative, but moderation is all over the map.

Close-up shot of a bunny from a couple years ago, on which I focused through the fence using a Canon FD 70-210mm f4 lens adapted to an Olympus E-M5 at the time which has since unfortunately died of a stuck shutter.
This is a shot of the innards of my PC from a couple years ago, the Vega 56 featured in this shot has since been upgraded to an RX 6600, and the CPU I was using at the time, an R7 1700, has since been side-graded to an R5 4500, and the Wraith Spire box heatsink that's featured in this shot has since been upgraded to an NH-U12S redux /w the second fan kit, admittedly an overkill heatsink for an R5 4500, but it does a really good job keeping that CPU cool.

YT's ad revenue only pays out fractions of a penny, if you want to make money on content creation, you're better off doing that through crowdfunding eg. with BuyMeACoffee, and that revenue stream is platform-agnostic.
Also, PeerTube's design basically allowing you to own your content can work out well for hobbyists which already have some other income source as well, better than being at the mercy of Google.
