YouTube alternatives

[8rambl3s]

For some time now I have been considering creating my own content. The first site I went to was YouTube of course, being the most well known and popular video hosting website that I know of. Unfortunately someone seems to have made an absurd attempt to troll me by claiming my preferred (and very obscure) username. Oh well. Wikipedia quickly displayed a long list of alternatives. I chose BitChute, which utilises P2P technology. Some kind of torrent based video hosting operating within the framework of a browser page.

This suits me just fine. I'm not interested in monetisation, advertising or maintaining the status quo. I was considering straight out torrenting video content.

I am interested in the opinion of others regarding this kind of technology. Is it safe, user friendly etc? My primary concern was that relying on P2P, anyone with a poor internet connection may struggle to view content.

Is there anything out there which is better than YouTube?

A stolen username is the last reason to change platforms. Though youtube is pretty shit. I heard vimeo is ok.

Youtube has all the audience, and thats all that matters.

You could try some chinese or japanese sites though, they have a lot of audience, though you would probably have to make your videos in japanese or chinese, also the chinese one has censorship.

There is twitch as well, which does provide for video hosting not just streaming.

Also a high probability that I made the account myself and just can't remember any of the login information.

jalpha did you just create a thread with a brand new account and then reply to it?

Jesus jalpha... wtf is happening to you

Yea, tbh I was meant to make the thread using Jalpha not 8rambl3s. Went mad creating accounts trying to keep the tag when I've probably just forgotten a password.

It's no secret that we are the same identity. Never has been.
