- no ads or sponsor crap (sponsor only if sponsor is <5s and only at the start of vid)
- buffering is efficient and quick
- subtitles available in widescreen, small etc
- can change volume and resolution
- can be judged by community with a non-karma system
- little to no algorithm or AI slop
- can custom select videos (by date, popularity, tags, or whatever)
- peer to peer, decentralised and FOSS
- privacy friendly
- can download, usable offline
- none of that copyright bullshit
In short, a no-nonsense normal video player without a profit motive.
For what it’s worth, PH is better than YT in most regards now, I feel.
