Are there any decent alternatives to YouTube? I think the only reason most people use it is because that is where the content is.
I've had some luck with BitChute, namely when I wanted to find some old Million Dollar Extreme episodes that had been scrubbed from YouTube.
Nowadays, it's not a bad idea to just save videos from YouTube directly ( https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl ) because people have entire playlists of removed content. I think it's hilarious (I mean, "not really") that YouTube removes so much content but not the link to it from people's subscriptions/playlists so they just have a bunch of gray boxes where thumbnails used to be.
One thing I'd LOVE to see is a quality peer to peer streaming network. Something where you can filter out the junk you DONT want to see and stream with no interuption the stuff you DO want to see. Items can't be removed once uploaded, perhaps tagged for end-user filtering so they don't have to see things they don't want to or can opt out of unknowingly hosting bits of that content.

I love ZeroNet.
The passwordless feature is neat but I have more than one device and I've not used ZeroNet enough to know how (or if possible) to sync the data between, say, a laptop and a desktop if I want the same ID. I'm sure it's just a stored key file or something, just haven't looked into it.
I'm not sure how to initiate ZeroNet on anything other than a Linux machine, and I can't see someone like most my relatives or friends doing that. Probably a desktop shortcut or app on Windows, I'd imagine?
I'm thinking of ways that just your normal person can experience the internet in a way that isn't too off putting to them, as an end user, but also in a way that values their privacy.

Testing with javascript disabled... Appears to work as well. Please let me know via PM or in /f/ramble of any errors you encounter so we can get them ironed out. Thanks!

Did you receive a server error?
I'm unable to replicate the error it seems.

LOL I kind of like that idea but the vote system is usually pretty good for self moderation. For example, on reddit I know that the good content and comments is under "controversial".

I installed Brave on all of their devices, deleted Chrome and hid Safari.

Probably not the answer you want, but ZeroNet.
ZeroNet is passwordless.
Currently though, TOR browser broke the ability to work with ZeroNet, so some privacy might potentially be sacrificed if browsing the wrong site.

In browser ad-blocking is a start unless you want to go the network route and setup a Raspberry Pi running pi-hole on it. Though the browser addons / plugins are less likely to need tuning, something it sounds like they're not equipped to do.
Once they get used to seeing the internet without ads all over the place, they'll freak out when they get on a computer or device that allows them. That will be a good starting point.

IMO straight voting systems are great until botnets start doing there thing and giving one person the votes of hundreds of users. Hopefully they have something to counteract those types ....
