I think you’re analysis is basically correct. The only creators attracted to YouTube alternatives are those that have been forced off YouTube. You see the same thing with 8chan, Gab, and now Parler.
Now niche doesn’t necessarily mean “cesspool of hate”, but that is a niche. For a while Vimeo seemed to be the place where I found embeds of art videos, so I attributed that niche to it, but I can’t remember the last time I saw a Vimeo embed. YouTube has sucked all the air out of the room. To underline this point, I hadn’t even heard of Bitchute until now.
