Works if you are only delivering live videos. I've never been able to get into Twitch because there is so much dead time without anything interesting happening.

Patreon only works if you already have established fan base that is willing to pay for your content. It does not help with discoverability at all.

Youtube is still the king of video no matter how you slice it.

Ah you know I am thinking of Vimeo I think. (The producers I follow upload only prerecorded material.) I guess that demonstrates how little brand recognition the YouTube competitors have :)

For now.

Rumble might or might not break through to mainstream.

Same with those fediverse solutions for different reasons.

Vimeo already works beautifully and is clean in every way AFAIK.

The what?

>Vimeo already works beautifully

Except you can't monetize your content and in fact you have to pay to post in the first place plus you can't post (at least) gaming related content.

Peertube for example.

Except Vimeo is not really competing with YouTube, and has a strict restrictions on the type of videos it accepts.

[skinkestek]

Vimeo competes in one segment.

Rumble in another.

Peertube etc in a third.

Self-hosting by media companies in a fourth.

Etc.
