i’ve grown increasingly, increasingly tired of youtube lately. the exhausting shorts advertised everywhere, overwhelming thumbnails, sensory overload and just generally a really piss poor site. Is there anywhere someone like me can turn to?

      Vimeo is not an alternative to Youtube. It’s a submitter-paid platform. If people had to pay money to upload their videos to youtube, it would never have become popular.
