PeerTube

PeerTube is a decentralized, free and open source alternative to video broadcasting services.

• It's open source, decentralized, complete features, this is the future of the web. DarkRedman • Aug 2018 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Peertube is federated, which means anyone with the know-how can host their own instance of peertube where they can upload videos to, and anyone on another peertube instance can find their server/account and view their videos. For an example of a federated service already in use, look no further than Email. swedneck • Jul 2018 • 29 agrees and 8 disagrees Disagree   Agree

• Open-Source, decentralized, federated. It is already great and will become even better for sure ! Guest • Dec 2018 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Not bad. its federations of multiple links of different sites and different video hosting places. But, there are some issues like lack of functional issues to like; simplistic navigation, more proper view-able UI, and loading times. Overall? Not bad. Guest • Oct 2019 Disagree   Agree

Vimeo

Vimeo can help with video collaboration, video distribution and video everything else. .

• Been around long enough. Website is fast and speedy. A strong Youtube contender if they change it up to a marketplace type site. michellesayssup • Aug 2019 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• 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. RemovedUser • May 2017 • 26 agrees and 14 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Different business model entirely, not enough of the same content. zane • Nov 2017 • 31 agrees and 11 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• There are upload limits and it caters to a different audience stranger195 • Jul 2019 • 5 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• No good content. The search is broken. My videos never get views. Guest • Dec 2019 • 0 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• Vimeo is way different. It seems to be more about short films, design, and things like that. This is not close enough to YouTube Guest • Nov 2018 • 5 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• User interface is pretty bad, very unintuitive on PC. Mobile is surprisingly user friendly. Also, in my personal experience, three accounts I've created have been disabled due to suspicious activity. I frequently use a VPN as I travel a lot. I just watched videos and like stuff - not even commented. Kind of annoying. Guest • Oct 2018 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree   Agree
• It's not free, there are no playlists, and the interface is not very userfriendly Guest • Aug 2017 • 25 agrees and 23 disagrees Disagree   Agree

• Vlare reminds me of Youtube before all the poop hit the propeller. They respect creators, have almost all of the features Youtube has today. There is a dedicated dev team and they are accessible and open to criticism and have the community in mind when they develop features and fix issues. I will be using Vlare primarily from now on. zagzagzag18 • Nov 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree
