I have WhatsApp for work now. I asked my boss to re-invite me to the chat this Monday.

I'm watching the tutorial now. Is Rumble an alternative to YouTube?

Rumble is pretty bad. There's not very many good alternatives to YouTube, but if you at least want a more privacy-preserving mobile app frontend for it, I'd recommend NewPipe or GrayJay (which, if you really want it, also supports Rumble, among very much lesser used federated alternatives like Peertube.)

I wouldn't recommend alternative decentralized video hosting platforms like Odysee either, as they are also very much heavily focused on conspiracy theories and random BS political topics with no merit. Kick funds destructive gambling behaviors and also funds fascists, so don't use them either.

If you're willing to pay, and your main priority is just deGoogling over specifically maximizing privacy as much as possible, you could pay for a Nebula subscription. They've got a lot of the creators you might be used to seeing on YouTube, with all their content on YouTube also on Nebula, along with some Nebula exclusive stuff. Normally it's 60 bucks a year, but I believe if you use creator codes from the sponsor reads creators will do on YouTube, you can get it for about $30-$36. Imo it's a pretty reasonable price if you just don't want to have to deal with YouTube. (and it is also supported by the GrayJay app)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I agree that Rumble isn’t the best option. I haven't been there for years and I didn't know the website was so bad. For alternatives, thank you for recommending NewPipe or GrayJay for a more privacy-focused platform. I'll try them this Monday after installing graphene OS! I can't wait for my full control. Also I'll support Fdroid developers!
