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.

nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 mentioned Blossom. I would love a good set of instructions on how to go about this. Good luck!

First off, that sucks, sorry to hear. Now, get your content on https://flare.pub by nostr:npub1zach44xjpc4yyhx6pgse2cj2pf98838kja03dv2e8ly8lfr094vqvm5dy5 (the sharp mind also behind flockstr). The UI/UX is incredibly slick, for one thing. Resilience: your content is published to your Nostr relay...

You can’t have Big Tech reach and own your own content. Video podcasting has been around forever but YouTube captured that market since it’s free to use. blubrry.com offers video podcasting hosting and it would even be watchable on podcasting 2.0 apps. Here’s an example. https://podver...

I don't know anything, but I swear BitTorrent has got to be able to help in some way.

The reach part is tricky, directing people to a cypher.space or npub.pro site, and using a mix of zpay.live blossom and nostr.build would be wild, but the normies are in digital gulags, to reach them you'll probably need to be ok living alongside the thugs in police outfits.....to a certain degree.

Rumble is the only alternative with 1/1 millionth of the views unfortunately
Bitpower · 73w
how do you know you are being shadow banned. still showing up in my feed. and view count seems to float around your average.

Is https://odysee.com/ a temporary solution, until something with big and with big reach get created on Nostr?

the only thing that meets those 3 things as of right now that I know of is: https://rumble.com

The challenge is not that there are alternatives (with smaller reach) but that even the alternatives aren't indexed by the search engines with the biggest reach. We got to go old school... Like pre-google old school. You got your site. Host your vids. Post on Nostr. Post on X. But to get more rea...

twitter is it. I wish they had a layout view so you could make playlists but they have been my backup for video reach

I feel the same on youtube but have no real way to verify the shadow ban. What makes you say that? Gut feeling or analytics?

Rumble?
localhost me/acc · 72w
you have the audience... fund the nostr based replacement no? crowd source some funding. leverage your current reach to build the new boat?

X and Rumble

Rumble has been the only serious solution for all other Youtube-exiles. Personally I favor (& subscribe) to Rumble for everything that isn’t youtube-only. It’s a solid, growing community there…but has maybe 10% to 20% of viewers, depending on the channel.
MAKE SONGS LONGER · 72w
I feel ya. I quit YouTube and deleted all videos but one so I could use it for pod 2.0 alternate enclosure. I hate that I still had to use it for that. I had yoga videos up there, but any “alternative” health / fitness / spiritually gets shadowbanned. You stop getting views despite best practi...

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...
