    Only if we talk about YT as video hosting for companies or frellancers, then Vimeo is a great one!

    My experience with Vimeo was terrible. Just unheard at all. Yes they seem to have their head up a NY butt there. All this artsy fartsy stuff, and you can't get heard at all. I may as well be on YouTube as this shady website that ghosted the heck out of me.

    At this point in time odysee seems to be the most attractive alternative for youtube. Many content creator (especially those who value freedom) switch every day.

    I'm actually on the fence with Odysee. Yes, it's a functional alternative to YouTube. But it also is built upon a blockchain protocol (LIBRY). So you will get all sorts of material without moderation, censorship or take-downs. While it sounds cool, you are at risk of seeing dangerous as well as potentially false content.
