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

    Comments about Dailymotion as an Alternative to YouTube
    Comment summary: Dailymotion is praised as a solid alternative to YouTube, offering unique content, and looser terms of service. It attracts users with features for managing and monetizing videos, despite being limited by the absence of community-building features like comments and livestream options. Users appreciate its independence from Google, but some users report technical issues like slow uploads and crashes.

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

    Twitch is more focused on livestreaming content, while YouTube is generally more so with videos. In terms of YouTube live though, Twitch would be a good alternative.

    Twitch is not at all similar to YouTube. It is for streaming games.

    Utreon is good conceptually. If they make it less laggy and cluttered it would be one of the better YouTube alternatives.
