Chinese video platform Bilibili is going global to challenge Youtube
The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website – with no identity verification (for now at least)

Hey, I welcome any serious competition. Youtube has devolved into a much more censored platform than what we used to make fun of the Chinese for. “Unalive”, “grape”, and several topics that are demonetized on sight.
I found clip.place , a peertube instance really good alternative to YouTube. I am sure there are others.
Thing is peertube is still pretty much new and empty. I didn’t find much content that I would be interested in or even an interesting community. Although I see its potential as a social platform I don’t think it will ever replace YouTube (at least for me) as it wouldn’t give creators the financial incentive to use it.
YouTube barely gives a financial incentive for most creators, that’s why most of them take sponsorship deals and/or use Patreon.
YouTube payout for creators is %55 of ad revenue generated per video.
PeerTube payout for creators is the ability to add a donation button on your page.
You ain’t got to lie Craig.
Tbh as someone who wouldn’t be in it for the money PeerTube seems awesome. And if you were in it for the money, imagine being like the first big channel on there? You’d probably really do well.
