YouTube Is Not Your Only Option — There Are Plenty of Alternatives

1

YouTube

With its more than 2 billion active users, it would be ignorant not to say that YouTube is a universally known and loved video platform. In fact, it wouldn’t be that far-fetched to state that it has become a worldwide phenomenon. YouTube is indisputably the sole reason for the global online video craze that’s been going on recently. But if YouTube is so popular and well-established, why would people be looking for an alternative video platform?

lbry.tv

Lbry.TV is a decentralized platform where users can upload digital content, including videos. This website prides itself on being one of the best YouTube alternatives without censorship, so if you’re having trouble keeping your videos on YouTube, this platform might be an excellent alternative for you. Two of the best aspects of Lbry.TV are that the platform has various monetization options, such as locking your content behind a paywall, and many different types of content available.

StoryFire

Storyfire allows you to enjoy high-quality content free of charge. However, if you’re a creator looking to get started on the platform, you might be up for a bumpy ride. Storyfire has some troublesome limitations for new content creators, making getting started on the platform more challenging than it should be.

Vimeo

However, where Vimeo falls flat is in its price and the monetization department. Like most video platforms for businesses, Vimeo is a premium service that comes at quite a steep fee for its upload limits. Also, Vimeo doesn’t have plenty of monetization opportunities, which means publishers and creators won’t earn much revenue.

Brightcove

Perhaps one of the most significant downsides to this tech giant is that it’s not beginner-friendly with its clunky UI and non-transparent pricing. Also, if you want to learn how much their services cost, you have to contact them to get an estimate. Finally, another significant flaw for businesses without a well-established audience is that Brightcove is not a video-sharing platform but a hosting one. That means it doesn’t have a native audience, meaning you’ll need to take your content to a self-built website.

Facebook

Ever since Facebook started giving higher exposure to native videos, video content has been flourishing on the platform. There are currently more than eight billion video views daily on Facebook, and that number is sure to grow even further! Even live streaming has gotten off the ground on the platform recently!
