This site is a good FOSS alternative to Youtube, and it's a Peertube instance
TILvids is a video community focused on edutainment content. The goal is to deliver interesting videos that you might not otherwise see. Some other important information:
We do not have video ads, but are funded by donations.
We put a heavy emphasis on respecting the data privacy of our users, and building a healthy relationship with content creators.
The site runs on the fantastic open-source PeerTube ecosystem.
Feel free to join our community to receive daily "TILvids video of the day" posts, or to ask questions and contribute!
Nebula is also a good video hosting "co-op" for these genre of videos, though it's paid subscription-only.
I believe creators are paid both subscription revenue (a la sportify or youtube premium), as well as shares in the company when users watch their videos.
