I'm so glad we have big technology companies that can control what people think, see and say! Oh wait...

Are there any decent alternatives to YouTube? I think the only reason most people use it is because that is where the content is.
I've had some luck with BitChute, namely when I wanted to find some old Million Dollar Extreme episodes that had been scrubbed from YouTube.
Nowadays, it's not a bad idea to just save videos from YouTube directly ( https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl ) because people have entire playlists of removed content. I think it's hilarious (I mean, "not really") that YouTube removes so much content but not the link to it from people's subscriptions/playlists so they just have a bunch of gray boxes where thumbnails used to be.
One thing I'd LOVE to see is a quality peer to peer streaming network. Something where you can filter out the junk you DONT want to see and stream with no interuption the stuff you DO want to see. Items can't be removed once uploaded, perhaps tagged for end-user filtering so they don't have to see things they don't want to or can opt out of unknowingly hosting bits of that content.
