Im not sure if this goes here like a major amount of my posts. Im looking for a alternative to youtube for beginners who just want to be apart of the community in a old school youtube perspective but not too old that it feels outdated. I sadly created a movie recap just to see how hard it was, it took me almost 2 hours just to slice and remove parts of the movie only to get a copyright warning by youtube. I mostly just blame my newbie editing skills, but is there a alternative to youtube that allows me to post videos youtube dosent want me to?
If you want to see my horrible cliche recap here it is. Be warned its not great and it has one of those text to speech voiceovers and such. I feel like i worked hard but at the same time i may have made slop. (please dont steal)
If you are trying to get monetized, make some $$, a lot of creators are using Youtube as sort of a cross-posting system, ie edited or partial content so they won’t get a copyright strike, or offend the fascist YT censorship, then in the video reference your Peertube/Odyssey/Rumble for the full version. It helps also to transition or train viewers on alternative platforms.
So far i haven’t come across something better than odysee. It has a community, but like most alternatives for larger platforms, the userbase is smaller, and often times i’ll also find some unhinged conspiratorial comments on there that are kinda off putting to me lol.
PeerTube
Have you used peertube, how good is it?
Here is my instance https://video.benetou.fr/ but it’s not a community. It’s just me posting videos, sometimes live streaming then keeping and sharing the record.
It is very good but needs a couple of big instances to attract people and make videos research more reliable in the fediverse.
They recently released an android app
That good, huh? 😛
Not so bad but not compatible with all instances. What I noticed in the past, is campaigns against peertube to avoid people from using it, something quite strange (actually disgusting) but a sign that it’s probably considered a “dangerous” platform for the established ones
Every respected fediverse application is a potential menace to the actual centralized WWW.
I wonder why no alternatives to peertube have appeared. Only one from the pixelfed dev iirc
It’s no campaign. There is just a lot more (percentage wise) unfiltered trash on there.
I think they recently updated something to allow finding videos across different instances easier. But I don’t use it, so you will need to look that up.
Unsure on the creator side of things, but besides PeerTube, which uses ActivityPub like Lemmy/Mbin/PieFed, looking at Grayjay’s sources list, there are some others, like Rumble, Odysee, BiliBili (Chinese), Nico Nico (Japanese), Dailymotion and Bitchute. Maybe a start to check?
Odysee I found it cool when it first released. I checked some time later and it became an echo chamber.
niconico!
I’ve been enjoying nebula. Def worth $6.50 a month imo but I understand it’s not for everyone.
I like and use nebula too, but it isn’t really a community, I don’t think it has any way at all for users to communicate, no comments no profiles etc etc
How much content is there and what type of content?
It was created by youtubers to try and gain independence from youtube, it’s
cooperativelyowned by the creators. It is mostly the same as those creators youtube content but with no ads and less ad friendly parts added in, occasionally a creator will put out some passion project that wouldn’t work on an ad supported platform. It skews edutainment and video essay type stuff, contrapoints, strange parts, tom scott, philosophy tube and Not Just Bikes are a few that are involved. Quite a lot of content overall but most of it available on youtube.
