      What’s stopping you from using NewPipe, PipePipe, Tubular, SkyTube, FreeTube or SmartTube?

        Not sure if I’m right, but the content would still come from YouTube.

        Also, I want the creators to get paid so I don’t know if that would be the case with such tools.

          NewPipe and PipePipe to my knowledge bring together different services, not just Youtube. There’s also Grayjay in this vein.

          And about supporting creators, I’d seek other means to support them, like bank transfers, Patreon, referrals, etc.

            Of couse I’m supporting creators from Peertube with Patreon, but it’s mostly bigger creators like Austin Evans or LTT (I know people hate him on Lemmy) that I watch on YouTube and I would feel dishonnest if I was watching their content without making sure they get paid in return.
