    What international alternatives exist for YouTube? And I understand RedNote as an alternative for TikTok, but YouTube fills a little bit of a different niche.

      Peertube is the obvious candidate, but I’m not sold on the content.

      I use nebula.tv, many of the creators I like are there too. You pay somerhing, but their business model is not too bad imho.

      Floatplane is somewhat similar, but LMG is involved, which I don’t love.

        Allas, if you want to stay away from YouTube, you’ll also want to stay away from Dailymotion. This platform is owned by Vincent Bolloré who is also the owner of the “Groupe Canal” (which includes “CNews”, the french equivalent to Fox News) and a number of different far-right media. Moving to Dailymotion is not exacly what I would call a smart one.

      There really isn’t one. That’s why they feel that they can do whatever they feel like. They have no real competition for the type of service they offer.
