Nothing special about YouTube other than the interface being about as offensive as possible. Rumble is light-years better in terms of speed and has an instant CSS based dark theme unlike the monolyth. I'm concerned many users that continue to use any sort of modified version of YouTube are going to eventually have their Google account sniffed out and banned. Many creators have shifted over to publishing to multiple platforms at once so that platforms like Rumble and Odysee don't seem as siloed with certain types of content. Rumble is sharp and stays out of the way, and that matters, as unlike the YouTube experience on iOS, you can still get a video to play audio only in background; it makes YouTube feel like an ad machine cesspool.

I also like Rumble, but the recommendation algorithm isn’t as good and there are just fewer content creators on the platform
