    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 !

    It's decentralized and made by a non-profit, and it has a way better search than YouTube and as seen in the name it has torrenting, so users can share the load of the server some of the biggest advantages of YouTube is the insane load the server can take and host so many videos peertube instances may not have big datacenters, but it clearly has good software

    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.

    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.

    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.
