what is the alternative to youtube?
Hi! sorry for the random topic 😅
Youtube keeps getting more and more annoying. Is there a good other platform where to migrate? If people were to migrate, where would they go?
the thing I liked about youtube is the massive amount of content, and knowing that if I upload a video, it's really easy to watch by others. I like the ability to follow channels too.
You're viewing a single thread.
One thing to keep in mind beyond hosting cost is the uploader making money. YouTubes partner or paid channel things work (there are complaints) it's a LOT harder to replace those freeas add revenue pays them
Patreon, and better yet, Liberapay, already exist.
What’s Liberapay and how does it fair against Patreon?
I've never used it myself, but the TL;DR is that it's supposed to be basically like Patreon, except that:
- it is itself a non-profit organization that funds itself via donations to its own account instead of taking a cut of the payments to others,
- its software is Open Source, and
- it only allows donations to creators (i.e., creators aren't allowed to provide rewards in exchange for the payment -- apparently, this is at least in part to avoid having to charge VAT).
sadly does not help smaller creators or starting creators. Want you to think if you paid 1-3$ per creator you watched. you would be less likely to watch as many. sadly adds/commercials work.
