I use ad blocker and brave on phone to access so it's less cancerous but occasionally I see it unfiltered and good God is it awful.

I love the idea of peertube but it's very awkward to use and people freak out about the P2P streaming. But a fediverse video site seems ideal: smaller instances so no one instance needs to be able to host extreme amounts of data.. although there's always risk that one instance becomes a monopoly and defederates from everything, and we'll have the same issue again (actually I fully expect something like this to happen on fediverse in general).

Dailymotion is one option I guess? But I don't see people talk about it much? Am I missing something?

There's sleebi for ASMR but it's a teeny tiny thing. Still paid for it tho.

None of course matter if there aren't content creators actually making content. On the other hand, on a smaller platform more people have a chance to be seen.
