- Forge36 6y agoVudu, Spotify, Pandora. I think there's a wide enough overlap that plenty of people could say "give us a try" when YouTube goes down.
- augusto-moura 6y agoYeah... But you still don't get the content from the youtube creators that you follow, usually I go for youtube just to see a few selected channels
- mr_toad 6y agoVimeo is my first stop when I can’t get it on YouTube.
- augusto-moura 6y agoThe problem is that most of my subscribed channels are not in Vimeo, so I lose a lot of meaningful content
- hetspookjee 6y agoI wonder why syndication is not more of a thing. Surely there must be a simple tool to upload your video to multiple platforms at once?
- macintux 6y agoWould you risk losing ad revenue if you posted to content providers who pay less? (I have no idea whether YT revenue is meaningful for smaller players, to be clear; I suspect not, but I also suspect it's worse elsewhere.)
- boogies 6y agoLBRY and Bitchute can automatically mirror your YT channel, and IIUC the former can also automatically upload videos to YouTube, maybe even on a customizable delay. Some decent sized channels like minutephysics use LBRY, but even though anecdotal accounts report much higher revenue per view and no decrease in YouTube exposure, it’s still certainly a uphill battle to compete with a de facto monopoly that can afford to hemorrhage money and just get more from a massive gatekeeper of the web.
- Nextgrid 6y agoI'm pretty sure Vimeo is paid, so it's sadly a non-starter for many creators.
- Austin_Conlon 6y agoIt's niche but I like that a lot of filmmakers seem to be on there. Often I can find the individual people behind well-produced Apple ads for example.
- sundvor 6y agoYouTube Music user here. Fired up Windows Media Player for the first time in ages, and told it to scan my old folder of ripped CDs.
- whereistimbo 6y agoIf you're Windows user maybe try lightweight option like foobar2000?
- wongarsu 6y agoYouTube is the one-stop-shop of internet videos. Any specific niche has a competitor, but none of them seriously competes with the whole of YouTube. I noticed the outage because I wanted to watch a stream, so I might go to Twitch now. Often I use Youtube for music, where Spotify is a solid alternative with many of the same creators. If I want to see that video from reddit of people throwing burning flares at a balcony I can probably find it on LiveLeak. Many of the educational channels I've subscribed are also on Nebula, but I could also watch a documentary on Netflix or Disney+ instead.
- lobster45 6y agoMy daughter could not do her homework assignment, her Google classroom is linked to YouTube. Thank goodness I was able to find the video she was looking for on Dailymotion. I haven’t been to the site in over 10 years
