Putting "all your eggs in one basket" as a BASED™ creator is a bad idea since you are probably going to get banned sooner or later, especially if you invested in Youtube. My philosophy is that the more websites you host your content on, the harder it is to censor you (or at least slowing the process down). You should consider to decentralize your online presence and that's what this thread is all about.
So in this thread I thought we can make a list over video hosting/streaming sites. I will start with the following ones:
If you have to encode videos yourself, I suggest using FFmpeg, or if you need a GUI version; use handbrake and make a preset that you can run the videos through. For video software in general, I found this post on the farms with a lot of good recommendations.
For livestreaming only:
I suggest uploading clips on Instagram and TikTok since there is a lot of potential new audience there. If you want to livestream there, you should consider multistream. Aitum Multistream got settings for a separate vertical mode.

So in this thread I thought we can make a list over video hosting/streaming sites. I will start with the following ones:
Website | Livestream | Information |
Youtube | Yes, will save the VOD too. | Run by poojets, get banned for anything. Use preservetube to archive your stuff if you can. |
Odysee | Yes | You have to encode the videos yourself. You can also host audio and documents. |
Rumble | Yes | Slow upload speed. |
BitChute | Yes | United Kingdom laws |
BitView | No | Max 15 minute videos |
3speak TV | Yes | Sometimes slow, max 2 GB per video. Also need a Hive account (some crypto shit). Ugly logo over the video player window, but can be removed with uBlock Origin (use the element picker and click on the logo). |
Substack | No | You have to encode the videos yourself. You can also host audio and text. |
Vimeo (free account) | No | Weekly maximum upload limit. |
NicoNico | No | No English support (it's all in japanese). You need a VPN for some sections. |
Yes | Policy to use your IRL credentials. | |
VidLii | No | 2GB, 25 minute maxium per video. |
PeerTube | Depends on the instance/platform you are on. | Decentralized, but you have to pick an instance/platform that isn't run by censor jannys. |

For livestreaming only:
Website | Information |
Twitch | Run by trannys and gooners. Get banned for anything, even for stuff on other websites. |
Kick | - |
Trovo | - |
