Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I don't think there is much in the way of alternatives. Scaling to millions of users is very hard.
There are a few platforms. Nebula, Floatplane, Peertube. I think Patreon allows you to host videos directly on their platform too.
But none of these platforms offer free access plus a built-in ad function.
I'm pretty sure both Nebula and Floatplane look for their talents themselves, you can't just decide to be there. And they look for something more sophisticated than a guy yelling n-word at children in a currently popular videogame.
Yeah, might be.
Dailymotion should be a non-issue to get into though. It's got free user access, it's the 9th biggest content site by active users worldwide and I don't think they have selective creator recruiting practices.
Many alternatives but most in china. Bilibili for example: https://www.bilibili.tv/en/video/4795901623145984?bstar_from=bstar-web.homepage.recommend.all.
Bilibili is already trying to open across Asia without any success. They're now changing their strategy to be Crunchyroll of Asia (mostly licensing anime from Muse Asia, Ani-One, and other company), but also allow people to host stuff (most people are either ACG content or pirated movie).
