What's a good youtube alternative?

I wanted to ask since it can be kind of hard to search through since there's a lot of people who got banned from youtube for being neo-nazis or what not going to youtube alternatives, so what are some good youtube alternatives that are around?

BitView is the best YouTube alternative

  • BitChute is full of garbage alt-right political propaganda
  • DailyMotion is a corporate wasteland
  • Vidme is dead
  • Vimeo is something else entirely

It depends on what exactly you are looking for. And your context has left me a little uncertain of why you may be looking for a YT alternative. 

Generally speaking, youtube is the best in terms of selection, extra features, getting your own vids seen, and communicating through comments. No other video host can compete with those aspects. Additionally, theres a fair amounts of live streaming there, though Twitch is peoples preference mostly on that (many streamers will be simucasting on multiple platforms for maximum reach, but if you want to engage with users in chat, you cant beat twitch.)

You did however, mention the complaint of getting banned from YT. So I think perhaps this alternative you want, is one that values free speech, and doesn't bow down to corporate influence or complaint campaigns from snowflake activist groups, am I correct on that assumption? If so, here are several alternatives i'd recommend, from my most preferred to least preferred:

https://odysee.com

https://rumble.com

https://bitchute.com

https://brighteon.com


Theres a slew of others in this category, though these 4 are the dominant players in that space. If you want free livestreams of real TV shows and stuff, such as adult swim/south park types of material, check out "https://cytu.be/". If its podcasts specifically that you want, you can try Locals, or Rokfin, or Floatplane, or if you're really desperate, you can look for vids/streams on the god forsaken X network, home of the Musk rat lmfao. For NSFW material, just search for it, its the most abundant content type on the entire internet. If none of those satisfy you, then you may be out of luck. Good luck, hope you find a new home for watching vids!

What about KamTape? It's a old YouTube remake that is VERY close to the original in my opinion
