Yep, and I wouldn't even think about asking normal content creators to move. While I use and support Bitchute, it's infested with far right nutters and edgy boys. That's not appealing to most content creators.

I generally agree. Although to be fair, Youtube was the same way ~15 years ago. Production quality of most videos were terrible and it was just a place for people to upload talking head videos.

And then it grew, attracted a large enough audience where Youtube could afford to pay ad revenue to creators, which snowballed and attracted more creators.

I don't know why more creators don't publish to multiple platforms. Youtube doesn't force creators to sign a non-compete or exclusivity agreement. And virtually every channel I watch has whined about Youtube's "algorithm" censoring them or hurting them in some way, either intentionally or unintentionally. You'd think they'd want to hedge their bets. It takes a few seconds of your time to upload a video to Vimeo/Bitchhute/Gvid/etc. Why's that so hard?

I handful of creators do publish to some niche paywall video sites that specialize in educational content (documentaries, science, etc), but I wonder how successful they are.
