Hey tech geeks, as you should be aware my technical skills are limited to actual physical things and that I don't have a PC or laptop just this little old tablet. I watch YouTube through an Amazon fireTV stick on my TV. Google, Facebook and YouTube censor the content available to me. What are free speech alternatives that don't involve a ton of ads that, can be used on my tablet (android).
I've find a lot of apps " not optimized for this device " likely due to its age. No I'm not spending my prep $$$ on a laptop, I will go back to doing things the old fashioned way, spending my Saturday mornings at the library. They were slow but, procured every book that I asked for.

My initial answer is that there are very few alternative services without power-draining ads. That said, there are quite a few alternatives. I can't escape Google services, but I use DuckDuckGo for search. I don't rely on Facebook for very much but limited publicity of my biking stuff. YouTube has some competition, but nothing quite so big: DailyMotion, Vimeo, Vevo, DTube, etc. It may be better to find the folks you like wherever they moved to. But sometimes the source itself can be a problem. Even your favored Abbeville folks are blocking at least one of my browsers. It's a pretty unsettled battleground out there right now.

All David Irving talks on YT have been replaced by hit pieces. A year ago was his most recent and it was two parts mainly talking about how he went about researching his books and his life. "Adolf Hitler was the man keeping me from getting toys" "most historians write books from other people's books, I go to the archives". Anyway I like his accent and I've read Dresden, the Goebbels diaries and up to Barbarossa in Hitler's War. Very different from the court historians and actually makes the comic book evil Nazi's into real people. Western Civilization needs Grendel's mama. Daily Motion has a bunch of ads. I read Lew Rockwell.
Not the Abbeville Institute preserver of all that is good and true in the Southern Tradition!? They might think your browser is,,,,
a YANKEE!

Well, it's that kind of war where some folks can't tell who the enemy is. You see, I never visit links directly from FB; I always slice and dice the crap FB puts in those links. The first time I did that, it went okay. The next time, I got a "forbidden" code back from Abbeville Institute. I think it seemed to them some kind of threat, and maybe it's because I was blocking advertising, etc.
David Irving is favored by some fairly strong defenders. Ron Unz, as part of his attempt to archive good material, has what appears to be an online copy of Hitler's War here, and The War Path is here. Irving's personal website is here. Some interesting links at the bottom of this page. The Internet Archive has this collection of stuff about and by him. Do those links do you any good?

The last 2 are new to me. I got a forbidden code twice last week trying to get here and your blog. I switched to Samsung internet and got through, it was last Sunday morning, I regularly read your Scripture exposition on Sunday as a welcome alternative to a church where I'm subjected to a preacher having a verbal enema. The next day I had no such difficulty, "must be an internet fart".
I didn't have church imposed on me as a child instead, my Dad filled my head with tales of growing up on the farm and the story of how the Yankees had burned out his great great grandfather's farm in the spring 1865 because he wouldn't take the Oath and stories of Jackson, Lee, J.E.B. Stuart, NBF. and why the South was right. His growing up stories were told all the time, the stuff on the cause of the Confederacy were in summer at the camper where he would hoist the Colors every morning and depended upon what book he was reading at the time. "Boy, I want you to remember who you are, we will always be foreigners here".
