"But Nico, you just listed every major platform provider, where are we supposed to go?"
Oh I'm so glad you're asking!
I'll just put a couple of alternatives under this post. Please keep in mind that I don't know every alternative and feel free to share the ones you know 
TikTok / Instagram Reels:
https://loops.video/ made by the Pixelfed dev @dansup.
Still in test flight, but we can make this platform big, if we really want to 
Also it'll be decentralized and open source, soon 
WhatsApp / Facebook Messenger:
Threema https://threema.ch/
Signal https://signal.org/
Element (Matrix) https://element.io/
Telegram https://telegram.org/
Discord https://discord.com/
Yes I know, putting Telegram up there as an IT guy is kinda criminal, but I do love the app 
Also I'm not your parent 
Instagram (without reels):
Pixelfed (Fediverse) https://pixelfed.org/
Facebook:
friendica (Fediverse) https://friendi.ca/
diaspora* (Fediverse) https://diasporafoundation.org/
I gotta admit I haven't used a Facebook-like network for about 7 years, so there might be better ones, those are just the ones which directly came to my mind.
YouTube:
Odysee https://odysee.com/
PeerTube https://joinpeertube.org/
Also if you continue using YouTube, just use apps like Grayjay https://grayjay.app/ or FreeTube https://freetubeapp.io/ 
Google does neither deserve your data nor your money.
Personally I prefer Grayjay desktop + app.
Just for my inner Monk!
I know that it's useless to post this here, cuz you're already here, but:
Threads:
Mastodon (Fediverse) https://joinmastodon.org/
Sharkey (Fediverse) https://joinsharkey.org/
Bluesky https://bsky.app/
Also if you ever need to look up which alternatives to a platform or an app exist, going over to https://alternativeto.net/ might help you out ^^
If you are searching for an alternative to the Meta Quest VR headsets, maybe Pico could be something for you.
Personally I have no experience with their products, but I have heard a lot of good things about them.
