Very useful, thanks! You might want to add an additional column to specify which ones are decentralized/federated/blockchain based.

Haven't tried them all, Bitchute seems like a decent service but there's a lot of trash videos on there so it's hard to find anything I'd want to watch. Also don't care for how they use Disqus comments from a privacy perspective. Flote - don't really care for the UI, calls to Google for some of their javascript. LBRY - I like the client, hopefully there will be more content on there. As for the blockchain aspect, I am not sure they need their own cryptocurrency (LBRY Credits, LBC). To me the most promising are PeerTube and IPFS, services that are incorporating federation and decentralization.

Not sure if you would call it an alternative, but I use the Youtube Proxy Invidious with the Invidition plugin so it might be worth mentioning.

Honestly I don't really know the answer to that on a lot of them, but I'd be happy to do that if people can help me gather some of the info!
