Enough already, with YouTube’s annoying advertising, intrusive tracking, monetization, algorithms, clickbait, influencers, copyright strikes, and the internet’s dumbest comment section.

No YouTube allowed. We’re looking for something different — old, weird, beautiful or bonkers videos, or new videos made by people, not corporations.

Videos of any length on almost any topic are welcome, so long as they’re interesting, funny, thoughtful, or even idiotic-but-amusing, and not on YouTube.

Music? Yes. Cartoons? Yes. Politics? Yes. Also rants, dance, vlogs, travelogues, your homemade movie, your recipe for cheesy potatoes… Surprise us, please.

A FEW RULES:

Your link must lead to a video anyone can watch, without registration, without a fee, and without any ads before, during, or after the video. Which means, no links to YouTube, or other commercialized video sites like DailyMotion, Vimeo, etc.
Embedded videos are welcome, if that becomes possible in the fediverse.
Text-only posts are welcome, if they’re about videos, videomaking, video sites, or about this page.
Sorry, no links to “porntube” sites. We have nothing against (and rather like) boobs and boners and such, but that’s not what this page is about.
Sorry, no links to movie or TV piracy sites. Nothing against that, either — giant corporations are immoral inventions, so ordinary concepts like ‘property’ and ‘theft’ are moot — but piracy is not what this page is about.
No links to videos promoting hate, violence, or cruelty, and no links to bullshitters like David Icke, Alex Jones, Project Veritas, True the Vote, etc.
Linking to your own videos is OK, but becomes spam if you do it more than once weekly.
Please give your post a descriptive title — a few words about the video at the other side of your link. Avoid titles like, “You’ve gotta see this” or “I couldn’t believe it!”
Let’s watch videos and be excellent to each other.

Some video sites we like:

• D.Tube is monetized, but not obnoxious about it.

• Internet Archive is vast, free, and full of the unexpected.

• PeerTube is the federated alternative. It’s complicated to navigate, but with effort, good stuff can be found.

• Public Domain Review hosts a collection of shorts, silents, and feature films.

• There’s gotta be other non-commercial, indy-friendly sites, so please let us know what video sites you’d recommend.
