Are Rumble, Bitchute etc. any good?

submitted by Cornfed from self.nonmorons

I put up a little over 20 videos on Rumble and so far they have got about 1000 views in total. I would put this down to no-one liking my videos, but if you search Rumble on most topics I am actually doing fairly well. There just doesn't seem to be much organic growth on the platform. Given that YouTube seems unusable I'm not sure what the alternative is.

Rumble is a publicly traded republican platform paying creators to come aboard. They explicitly ban racism. BitChute censors. It all depends on what you want I guess.

Why does YouTube seem unusable?

Other than the censorship it flags supposed copyright violations when I think it shouldn't and doesn't seem to allow organic growth any more.

I'm just a filthy user, but I don't like watching stuff on bitchute or Rumble. Actually kind of avoid it. Now I don't watch a lot of YT either, but it's just more convenient when I do want to watch a video. Faster, used to the interface, and it's easy to skip around.

Also, there's lots of crap on those alternatives, being on there is sort of a psychological mark against it.

Yes, they are not as good as YT for the equivalent of surfing the channels. It would be could if someone could create a site linking all video sites together. As to the crap to good stuff ratio, I would have thought the alternatives were a little better.
