With all the censorship of content by Big Tech these days I've been looking for a good censorship resistant alternative to Youtube.
So far there appear to be four options:
DTube - the original Steem blockchain based video sharing platform which has just been upgraded to Ver 0.8 to include live streaming and messaging. It takes 25% of author rewards. It uses IPFS.
DLive - a newer alternative Steem blockchain based video sharing platform and live streaming platform which doesn't take a percentage of author rewards. It was first to offer live streaming on the Steem blockchain and has a funky user interface.
BitChute - an WebTorrent based streaming platform using blockchain technology. Its been around since Jan 2017 with a major upgrade in March 2018. Its popular with the Alt Right and Infowars official channel has 20k subscribers.
Bit.Tube - A new IPFS based streaming platform with its own cryptocurrency and rewards system like Steem. It also allows you to put all your YouTube content on Bit.Tube in one click, which is a great feature. Seth Estrada has his popular crypto channel here.
Its great to see all this competition in this space.
Its sorely needed if we are to maintain our freedom on the internet.
I'm still assessing each of them to work out which ones to post on. They all seem to work OK to download.
I'll provide an update post once I've formed a stronger opinion.
Please let me know your thoughts.
