Odysee is a slick, modern looking video-hosting site, and I'll try to use it more often. But Bitchute video quality just blows and has for the longest time. It especially hurts when you upload gaming videos, which more require high resolution and sharpness in comparison to talking-head videos, where video quality isn't as important. Not to mention the site looks like it's from a decade ago. At least they have fixed their terrible search function. Used to be I couldn't even find videos even when searching the exact name of the video. I haven't used Rumble or Brighteon yet to say anything about them.

edit: Another good thing about Odysee is you can make multiple channels per account without a subscription. Channels are not just for the purpose of video uploading, but is used for commenting under a different alias as well. So you don't have to make another account with another email to shitpost or whatever.

I am suspicious of sites like Odysee and Rumble that monetize uploads. The fair use of copyrighted material rules are very much about non profit use. If you use any copyrighted video in your upload and you profit from it you can't claim fair use.

On top of that Odysee demands your phone number before you can receive their crypto currency which you need because you also get charged a fee for each upload.

    I agree: gvid is a good host

    x0x7 6 insightful - 4 fun - 14 hours ago Can't profit from it.

    That is untrue. Look at Family Guy's use of Mickey Mouse under fair use. Do you think they profited zero from that episode just to include that one clip?

    I am going to self plug though. If you want above 720p video and no-monetization, gvid.tv has you covered.

    I meant if the copyright owner decided to sue. You would be on shakey ground in court if you tried to claim fair use if you profit from it.
