I do like watching videos on theses platforms but if your someone who wants to create gaming or random videos then youtube feels overcrowded. is there a less overcrowded, option to look into, and im still debating if i should watch videos or make videos as a hobby. you all got any tips or suggestions aswell by chance?

Peertube is a video and streming platform (like youtube) and owncast a streaming platform (like twitch) that are FOSS, self-hostable and connected to the Fediverse. Although I don't think getting any amount of viewers on those platforms will be any easier.

Honestly, if you're someone making gaming videos, it's hard to find an audience in other platforms.

There is also GNU Media Goblin that the FSF commonly uses. Federating it is on the roadmap but I'm no sure it has happened yet. I think it is possible to get their casting apps too but I have not tried.
