BreadTube.tv

This project aims to list anti-establishment public YouTubers for simplified onboarding of new members to the cause.

Check out the announcement on r/breadtube to follow the discussion.

Growing from this base we want to build a platform which elevates content creators far beyond what YouTube can currently offer, and gives them resilience from being censored or deplatformed.

For now though this is a really simple website

Channels can be added to the homepage under data/channels.yml
Videos can be added to the homepage under data/channels.yml
Playlists can be created to link to videos and channels
Social media can be changed inconfig.toml.

We'd like to simplify the process for adding content, this is a project you can help with!
