Great idea, but it's just an idea. People won't come unless you have content. Which big names can I expect on your site?

How are you different from Bitchute?

How are you going to take payments? PayPal? They can and will cut you off if they don't like you.

I haven't reached out to any big Youtubers yet but I will be doing that once the project is far along enough to use. Just looking at bitchute now, it's a lot of politically divisive videos and conspiracy theories. Nothing against them per se but it can turn off the average user. I'd like to build a platform that offers Youtubers an alternative that doesn't have a lot of the hangups that Youtube does; the advertisements, the copyright algorithms from hell, and so on. Paypal is certainly one of the merchants I'm considering, but there are others such as Stripe I'm looking into.
