Having never heard of bitchute, I just checked it out. It’s basically just right wing nut job stuff. I think LiveLeak at least was a little more “balanced”, in that it was about entertaining content, regardless of the political ideology.

I watched liveleak to see people get beheaded, not for conspiracies.
Aren't they both weird?
Yeah it's sadly the same with odysee and other alternative sites.
> same with odysee and other alternative sites.

I just loaded the front page of Odysee. Here is a summary of the top videos it shows me: explanation of a helicopter accident, SpaceX SN15, corgis, green house design, guinea pigs, GPU review, Democratic Socialist, and a Godzilla vs Kong comic.

That doesn't track with your opinion of the site.

Okay? And when I loaded it just now, I see "Should I get married", Steven Crowler shenanigans, some self-defense videos, etc. I haven't been there just once.
Sounds like there is all kind of videos on there. Just like YouTube.
If they're not stopping you from uploading and they don't hide videos from you (à la Youtube) then the content mainly being "right wing nut job stuff" is surely just a failure of non-right wing nut jobs to take advantage of such nowadys uncommon largesse.
I just looked at the home page. What a shame it's just covered in shit, because there's a lot of good YouTube refugees on there too.
