I’m in the process of divorcing google so YT is a HARD no for me. Google had demonetized my friend’s viral video (close to a decade ago) of his 5 1/4" floppy drives playing toccata & fugue in d minor over MIDI and it left a FOWL taste in my mouth. Most of my videos are 45-90 minutes in length. Night time videos are 2.5~gb. My day time videos are 8-10~gb. I’m currently looking at playeur vs odesee but playeur has a much lower file limit. I’d like to do higher quality videos but it looks like I’ll be limited to 720p content even though the original is in 1080p. I am looking to monetize my content as well. What platforms do I have available in this day and now?

    TV stations don’t just volunteer to put your home videos on the air.

    Well, not usually.

      All these platforms have business models. Some sell ads, some take a cut of subscriptions/rentals. They’re just asking for a decent alternative to relying on YouTube, and didn’t even state that monetization was a hard requirement. Would think Lemmy users would welcome the opportunity to reduce reliance on a single giant megacorporation for basic video hosting.
