The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website – with no identity verification (for now at least)

    Hey, I welcome any serious competition. Youtube has devolved into a much more censored platform than what we used to make fun of the Chinese for. “Unalive”, “grape”, and several topics that are demonetized on sight.

      I found clip.place , a peertube instance really good alternative to YouTube. I am sure there are others.

        Thing is peertube is still pretty much new and empty. I didn’t find much content that I would be interested in or even an interesting community. Although I see its potential as a social platform I don’t think it will ever replace YouTube (at least for me) as it wouldn’t give creators the financial incentive to use it.
