BitChute Report

If you are looking for the best Alt-Tech parallel to YouTube, look at Odysee. BitChute used to be the top contender, but at the time of writing their “edgy” content that would be hidden by the YouTube algorgithm or outright banned/deplatformed tends to dominate the experience. To their credit, BitChute is allowing its users to make the most of their “free speech” that is limited elsewhere. They’re just a little bit “niche” in terms of their content mix at this time.

Especially in the wake of recent deplatforming raids by YouTube, BitChute has been rising exponentially in popularity. Bitchute is built on blockchain, so hosting is distributed to prevent silencing of voices. This also eliminates a lot of overhead costs, whereas services like YouTube have to cover hosting for millions of new videos added every day… This can have some effect on playback and usability, but the service has steadily improved.

While at the time of writing BitChute is dominated by alternative and dissident video content, it may yet become a parallel alternative to the increasingly censored and centralized TV-oriented YouTube. Whereas YouTube is trying to be an interactive Cable TV 2.0, BitChute is a free-speech oriented version of what YouTube originally was – a place where you can upload your own video content to be hosted, shared, and discovered online. Businesses using video marketing would do well to get involved with BitChute early, but they should do so in good faith and in common with BitChute’s unadulturated philosophy.
