With the recent news that YouTube will be going fully 1984, along all their previous cases of censorship and poor management, I thought we should discuss alternative sites. If you know of a good, general purpose video streaming site and want others to see it and get their friends to use it, post it below! Please post a specific website.

I recently created a Rumble account, their site is currently dominated by videos from OAN, The Bongino Report, and Dinesh D' Souza. However, at the moment they don't seem to have a ton of general purpose content that could bring in the masses who just want entertainment.
GO RUMBLE
Rumble BABY! If there are content creators you follow on big tech platforms, encourage them to also upload to Rumble. Make it your new go to for entertainment as well as news.
Opt out of Google, FB & Twitter. There are viable alternatives for all of it. Even Android and iPhone have alternatives. Starve the beast.
I’ve been thinking we need a thread like this. I’ve been using bitchute, but lots of holocaust denial and anti-semitism there. Sad to see it, but it’s 100% free speech or nothing. There is no such thing as good censorship. On another note, it’s hard to find a site that has all the general entertainment/ dumb home video stuff that YouTube has.
The problem with youtube is that people use it like google search, when they want to search something video related (not porn they know it can't be found there) they go to youtube and try to find there and if they dont, they assume its not at internet.
Those moving to a new website must try to find a way to deal with that, the problem is that youtube limit channel reach if you advertise other plataforms, at some countries people use the word little purple instead of twitch to talk about twitch.
Solution may include doing two videos, at the end of both videos you say there is a X days delay at youtube and videos are released first at other site. Then you release your videos at other site first and then release at youtube with a delay of X days, this force those to go to other site to watch the video without delay while also making your videos searchable at youtube.
Making a video with lenght of X (size of video) where the video is just a picture to youtube alternative with link may be the choice. The video must have lenght of X to make sure people dont think its not the video they want to view (specially those that dont know the trick).
The problem is youtube censoring the second kind of video and limiting the exposure of the first type of videos.
Just passing this on for any one who has any comments good or bad.

TikTok, IGTV, and Facebook all seem like they would just end up becoming the same thing as YouTube if they do become popular. Plus TikTok is run by Eric Swallowwell's bosses. I didn't of Internet Archive, that is a good one.
