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

    Open source and ad-free but the main website Odysee is centralized and uses tracking cookies.

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

    It's completely different and is VERY unreliable, I would only use it for short clips that are temporarily needed

    Useful to share short videos, or videos that you won't need to keep online for years. Free users will see a warning that their videos are pending deletion due after around 2 months of them being uploaded

    It's not a good alternative to YouTube because the idea is upload a video, get a link and share it. That's it. It doesn't have a interface that you can search for videos and etc. Basically, it doesn't have the "social network" that YouTube has.

    This one is not bad and not so bloated as most other alternatives. However, it seems to be not developed anymore. The latest release was 2017 and that is also the year the last commit was made in its Github repository. https://github.com/cumulusclips/cumulusclips
