Yeah it's practically impossible to completely escape GAFAM unless we renounce 'digital life' or make a humongous effort or whatever. It's about reducing / minimizing the amount of shit they know about us, not being the coolest most degoogled guy in the room. I can't afford to quit my job just because they make me use Microsoft Authenticator. So yeah essentially it's better to use Newpipe than Youtube, what a great thing that some dude or dudette decided to develop it for free, Peertube? Even better, yay options, end of story.
