Sorry, I know this is a bit off topic .......

Recently when using Youtube I keep getting requests to log in to my google account. I don't have one, and do not intend to ever have one. As for google mail, the less said the better.

It seems that the time is coming when I will not be able to look at anything on Youtube without signing in. Is that correct. If so my response is that I won't bother with Youtube any more.

Or is there a better way? I have done some research already, and as usual am getting more and more confused, and angry,

help

Hi

Not sure how to fix these Google / Youtube issues you could just use peertube https://joinpeertube.org/ there are lots of different instances all federated together.

Granted the material you want may not be on there, well the more people who use peertube that may change.

You can sign up and easily add your own content. Or follow content on other instances. however if you have a Mastodon or other account on the Fediverse you can follow people on peertube, or other services e.g pixelfed which I think is more like instagram in terms of being for photos and video.

Hope this helps

Paul
