        I don’t think there is much in the way of alternatives. Scaling to millions of users is very hard.

          There are a few platforms. Nebula, Floatplane, Peertube. I think Patreon allows you to host videos directly on their platform too.

          But none of these platforms offer free access plus a built-in ad function.

            I don’t think those are quite at the scale YouTube is. Video content for millions of uses is very hard and expensive.

            I’m pretty sure both Nebula and Floatplane look for their talents themselves, you can’t just decide to be there. And they look for something more sophisticated than a guy yelling n-word at children in a currently popular videogame.

              Yeah, might be.

              Dailymotion should be a non-issue to get into though. It’s got free user access, it’s the 9th biggest content site by active users worldwide and I don’t think they have selective creator recruiting practices.

            The rest of the world isn’t authoritarian quite yet

            Bilibili is already trying to open across Asia without any success. They’re now changing their strategy to be Crunchyroll of Asia (mostly licensing anime from Muse Asia, Ani-One, and other company), but also allow people to host stuff (most people are either ACG content or pirated movie).
