    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.
