because all the shit is already there - it's convenient - there are no alternatives that i am aware of that have that kind of a volume of videos
that said, yes, YT sucks
here's a somewhat interesting alternative - help build it up by adding content to make it a viable alternative:
https://gvid.pw/
gvid also has an option that allows server-to-server transfers, meaning you can upload a YT video (or a video from anywhere) directly to gvid without having to download it locally first, however it's a bit goofy in how it works in that you need to have the actual URL of an mp4 video file, not just the video page URL - not intuitive at all and it simply won't work for 1080p+ videos where YT splits the video and audio into separate files
i tried suggesting that he run something like youtube-dl on his server to make it much easier for users to make use of the direct transfer capability, but the dev is resistant for some reason - you might want to make this request yourself at /v/gvid
I'm wondering the same thing. With platforms such as youtube, reddit, fb, twitter etc... constantly censoring us, why do we continue to use them?
To help "fight the fight", my suggestions would be to use brave as your browser, proton as your email, and duckduckgo as your search engine.
A lot of people have been ditching FB, Twitter, and Reddit. But yeah post it to youtube, but know it's going to be taken down, so have it posted in other places. To act shocked that youtube would take something down makes you look retarded. (general you, not specifically you).
I meant that's a place to post them where they won't get removed. Any of these can be archived with savefromnet then uploaded anonymously with no account necessary to vid.me . Some of the longer videos need to be broken into parts due to a time limit, but vid.me is a better place to put stuff than youtube
We made Vidme to give redditors a better way to share and host videos. Vidme lets anyone post a video instantly and anonymously from the vid.me website or their phone.
One look at that nerfland and I was losing my lunch already. Think I'll stick to Vimeo and a fucking non nerfed adult layout for fuck sakes.

Same reason people still use FB or Re-edit (gross) - they want to reach the maximum audience possible.
