I understand why a lot of creators need to use Youtube (revenue, discoverability) but I suggest that anyone who doesn't strictly depend on them to upload their content to random other video websites. Video streaming is a solved problem and there's no reason Youtube should have a near-monopoly on it. The more you limit their market share, the more likely they are to listen to their "customers".

For low bandwidth you can just chuck the video on a HostGator shared hosting or similar. Nothing magic - just upload and MP4 and embed a video element in HTML and you are done. Ad free and cheap for low volume sites.

This can probably be scaled up by using S3.
