I am being shadow banned on YouTube. I still have yet to figure out the best option for censorship resistant video hosting that:
-has reach (need to teach newcomers)
-is resilient
-can host large files (both size and length)

Please let me know your thoughts and potential solutions.

We’ve been shadow banned for years as well. It shows up easily in our statistics. People often can’t find us even when they’re following us closely or even when searching by episode number. It’s so degen… Our solution for the last four years while we wait patiently for Nostr: 1. Post con...

Sorry, must have been from having me on your pod.

No expert but if search reach is a goal given your suspicions on YouTube then I second all the comments on having your own page, working on SEO and possibly paying for Google Ads. If the model on YouTube is similar to search then less engagement could be related to someone else paying more to rank s...

Unfortunately I have no idea, but I’d be interested in hearing what you find! Sorry to hear about your YouTube issues 😞

I'm so sorry Ben that you suffered that kind of censorship.

I'm trying to figure that out myself. Seeing someone like you who's put in so much work to provide high-quality content, build up a large following, and then at the click of a button, and because for some reason content might not be considered politically correct, you lose visibility... To me, it m...

While not perfect, Rumble seems like the best option.

I see most posting their content both at Rumble and Patreon. I did find this article which might be useful https://www.lemonlight.com/blog/20-places-to-post-your-video-for-maximum-reach/ Begin creating an email list so you can email your content.

Did you got any feedback by YouTube yet?

#Odysee & #Rumble keep your content on the three platforms , Rumble is more adopted and well supported by Chromecast thus more adoption. Odysee, is more censorship resistant but lacks Smart TV supoort

Rumble has a lot of adoption, there are profiles with millions of followers, therefore, if reach is what you seek with less censorship that is the way to go, I believe the CEO was recently on the run from Europe after Pavel was arrested but... #Odysee is superior in look and feel and cneoarship r...

From my years of experience with content, big tech, marketing and censorship (only in the past 4 years) - there’s no magic solution. My strategy is omni-presence - being on as many channels as possible, and being prepared with redundancies for the day they close one channel for you. Two platfor...

I interpret this to mean that YouTube will still host your content; and, anyone with the proper YouTube URLs can watch it, right? You just need an efficient way to promote the YouTube URLs (because, presumably, YouTube has ceased doing so on your behalf). I would continue to use YouTube for hostin...

We are also shadow banned I think as we have 0 views actually. 🐰 🤣

You should sell your tutorials in packages on DVD and VHS
TheGrinder · 94w
if you're being shadow banned then YT has the same potential for reach than Flare, ZapStream, Odysee or any other platform out there. I don't think it matters where you host your videos. What matters is how do people find them and for that you already have your nostr reach and your followers on othe...
Chad Lupkes · 94w
Once a video is finalized, you can use IPFS Desktop to hash and share the link. The reach might suffer a bit at first, but the more people who co-host the videos, the faster it will get.

Could try posting full videos to twitter Ive seen that working well for people. Less searchable… can only imagine the frustration with how much effort and dedication you put into your content. Also could use Rumble.
