Free YouTube Alternatives

Peertube gives you more control and more privacy and allows you to control your own videos if you want to or use a public instance.

Out of the decentralized, open source alternatives to YouTube, this one is probably the best. It's being developed by Framasoft who consistently does amazing things

It does not have very many videos on it at all! I searched Minecraft and multiple other subjects and came up empty!

I think It doesn't have ads!

Bringing power back to the people. PeerTubw ftw!

Decentralized video-streaming, not exactly like youtube, as you have to find the content creators instances on your own, but definitely a good alternative.

PeerTube is the open-source technology that links together independent instances on which people freely host and post videos. Find an instance that suits you or create your own, and join the federated PeerTube community !

What could be a better alternative to watching YouTube than watching YouTube without all the nasty Google spying going on? NewPipe brings exactly that to the Android platform. I'm very happy it exists. Use this instead of Google's YouTube app to prevent Google constantly monitoring what you like to watch.

NewPipe isn't an alternative to YouTube, but rather to YouTube's Android APP. It's packed with features the official app doesn't have all while being lighter on resources and having no spying on the client side.

This isn't an alternative, it is an interface for it.

It's an app that still uses youtube services, not al alternative to those services.

because i can download videos for free

This is really a good one, without YouTube premium you can download video/audio, no ads. Thanks to New Pipe and team, now i don't have to download through web

It's ad free and you can download any YouTube video and use it as you want.

High quality videos often focused on creative areas.

Vimeo was the first site to offer full HD online video, they have some interesting monetisation features and a clean interface. What's best though it's that the vimeo community is overwhelmingly creators and people who know what they're doing, so you won't find many cat videos or talentless basement dwellers filling up the site.

Different business model entirely, not enough of the same content.

YouTube is the best video platform. I use it every day and I love it.

I dont like vimeo because its not similar enogh

it has a good interface and it's pretty popular

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

Very fast, peer-to-peer tech similar based on BitTorrent. No censorship. Growing community.

Great concept, focused on procecting everyone's freedom.

Bitchute looked like an alternative to YouTube, but as we saw in the past two years; they are just as censorship-happy.

They are also independent from large megacorporations like Google, also unlike YouTube.

Also available through Bitslide for your phone.

Many disgruntled YouTubers are moving their content to BitChute, and it has been massively gaining in popularity over recent years. No censorship make it an attractive alternative to all other video hosting platforms.

BitChute allows free speech and does not partake in shady business practices and promotion like YouTube does. They are also independent from large megacorporations like Google, also unlike YouTube.

LBRY is a true decentralized alternative to YouTube, it doesn't rely on a domain name for the videos to be accessible, hence the app. It's able to bring together all the best user experience from a centralized network and all the benefits of decentralization!

Users of YouTube should feel right at home.

LBRY video interface has moved to Odyssee, so no more is a Youtube alternative

The video interface became Odysee.

why would we use youtube if we have a free open source community focus and respect privacy freedom of speech alternative

LBRY is blockchain based is privacy friendly and does not censor you. What is not to like?

LBRY awards users with cryptocurrency for watching videos.

You can watch videos from youtube without giving away your soul and personal data, or being bombarded with ads. It just works ??

open source, ad-free, privacy, tor

JavaScript not being required is kinda pog

Much like NewPipe, you use this to avoid having to use YT to watch its content. You can also easily download the videos using any of the invidious instances, which is nice. If you're a content creator, though, it offers nothing.

fast it don't ask email in registration,just name and password

Just ried it a few times so the jury is still out

Same content - ads and general slowness + one-click reddit comment section + one-click dark mode. Best alternative front-end to the same back-end service.

DailyMotion offers nice options to manage and monetise your videos. And it's not linked to Google, which is a good point on my opinion.

Daily motion is a good alternative for YouTube if one wishes to earn ad revenue from their videos, but it's not as good of an alternative for building a community since it has no comment sections or any other means of contact between viewers and creators.

Dailymotion doesn't have the comments section on a video as Youtube and removed the livestream option.

Plenty of content not found on Youtube. More lax terms of service than Youtube.

slow uploads and keeps crashing. it sucks.

It used to be a free video hosting service for everybody, but it doesn't is anymore. Now it is for newspaper, professionnal...

Sometimes i found vids here which i dont find at youtube

The fact that it has the similar old youtube 2006 layout and is much more simple in the navigation. It also has the 5 star rating system which we all loved.

Because out of all the other websites it imitates the feel of YouTube the best.

Recently, Vidlii was acquired by a neo-nazi, Kuznetsov.

Vidlii has a great and active community, despite it having a relatively small user base. Getting in contact with staff is not difficult and they even have a partner program.

I tried out VidLii before and i like this website the website is just like the old youtube but better i did not make an account or make any videos on the website but i did watch some videos there

It has old channel layouts star ratings a partner program video contests

• Free
• Developer API is open and requires neither license nor API keys
• Any video has the same quality
• Themes are free and you could upload them by yourself

Love it looks like youtube but its not. And I didn't know it was completly decentralized and open source! What a bonus!

d.tube is youtube but without centralization and with crypto exchanged as views IIRC. It has the best interface of any youtube competitor and seems to have a business model that will payoff.

No censors, so you can listen to mrbeast swear all the time!

Censor free, easy to use, and fun. Would recommend.

Sadly, because of the sharing model, the video size limit on DTube is 1GB, which is not really enough for good quality gameplays, so it's not a good alternative for gamers.

D.Tube makes monetization easy and fair

It is a free/libre software that respects your freedom and the freedom of your personal data.

MediaGoblin is an open source project than can be hosted on any server. It is decentralized but a federation connects all servers between them. And they don't use your data like YouYube/Google.

Poor in content, unused, not immediately clear, important structural difference that are not obvious.

Clueless how it works and it would not upload my video when I tried the demo so there was no way to figure it out.

I should just be able to logon and go you can't do that with this platform.
