Does anyone know any decent up and coming youtube alternatives? with how google has been in recent years i am very interested in supporting a new comer in the video space. i know of odysee but thats mostly just people connecting there youtube channels to it and not actually being a creator on there and i know of rumble but its still a bit too political

vidlii and bitview. there kinda small but they have the yt ui and r great for posting kinda short vids. they have a gore/cheese pizza problem though. u could also download the extension "youtube redux" as it gets rid of the ai and shorts. the settings are pretty customizable and im no longer getting mad at my feed bc of it LOL

i tried to make a bitview account, turns out you need to contact the devs on discord to finish the process. and i use pale moon as a browser so i cant use extensions like that, ive completely degoogled hence why i wont use a chrome based browser and want a actual youtube alternative, guess i gotta stick with rumble and odysee by the looks of it

There's a bunch of them (Vimeo, Dailymotion, Odysee, etc) but they have pretty much the same problems Youtube have nowadays.
The only real alternative I'd highly recomend is Peertube. It works totally fine to upload videos, follow channels, comment on stuff and even livestreams. But unlike any of the others it's closer to how the old good e-mail works, in the sense that there isn't a corporation running the entire platform but more like hundreds of servers or providers and all connected to all others and able to communicate regardless of whenever we registered our account.
The userbase and the general vibe may remind a lot to that mid-late 2000s spirit: lots of people making and sharing stuff and having fun without the usual narcisistic and pointless ambitions we are used to see from the so-called "youtubers" and "social media" in general. It just needs time to get your stuff to be known and due to the lack of algorhythms it might be not that easy for your work to reach an audience, but it's worth it.
