yuunikkiIs there an actual/viable youtube alternative or will google forever have an iron fist as a video platform?
Battle Maskerthere was Dailymotion (well techincally still is) but it lost traction after banning nudity (like half their site was “wardrobe malfunction” related content). Then again, there wasn’t too much traction there to begin with due to data limits, especially for newer users. There’s a lot of alternative sites that claim they’re a more ethical youtube alternative, but they’re niche at best, and getting any traffic comparable to a fraction of youtube traffic is an uphill battle not unlike Sisyphus’s boulder
bob_wileyThere was (is?) Vimeo as well. They were trying to go head to head for a while, but seemed to shift focus to those who want to host some videos for a website and have more control than YouTube provides. It don’t seem like you can just go there and watch videos without logging in anymore.
Nice, thanks. I had trouble figuring out where to go, at least with their mobile site. I can find where to navigate now that I know to look for “watch”. Hiding it away instead of making that their homepage really does show they aren’t looking to be YouTube.
