No VOD site can ever compete with YouTube if they have 0 discovery algos and a site search that does not work.

2 Stars for being serviceable for watching stuff banned from YouTube from known creators.

Pure Pay to Play. Absolute Garbage

I have been a longtime user of Youtube, and I know the in's, and Out's of that service like everyone else out there. YT just released a new set of policies which are just way out there so I decided to go to BitChute.

Well, I am so disappointed with BitChute. It rarely processes my videos, the streaming of HD content is not at it's best at all. Sure it's a free service, and doesn't have ads (unless you select ads option to have ads) but it's a Pay to Play service.

If you are a member (donations or membership) your videos get processed ahead of everyone else, if you are not then you better off going back to Youtube.

BitChute is a pile of garbage.

I wanted to love Bitchute but...

I wanted to love Bitchute, I really did. When I started to move things over there because of NaziTube, I was excited and in the first few days had over 100 subs already. But the honeymoon ended shortly there after. Some videos will get stuck in processing for days and may never complete. Not sure about you but I do time sensitive content and that is unacceptable. It would be nice if they had some kind of import from NaziTube but there is none. They do have a site where you can import but it is just as bad as Bitchute in processing time, just not a viable option for most.

So in conclusion Bitchute is a great idea but poorly implemented and maintained, same issues a year later, nothing has changed.

Best other option is UGETube, NaziTube easy import and extremely fast, everything works flawlessly but the down side is I have a lot of my stuff imported and I mean dozens of videos and I have one sub and that is me because I got tired of seeing a zero. Normally when you have a very active and constant upload of content you are rewarded by being placed on the front page where you can pull in views and subs but I have yet to see one of my videos appear there. They just don't have a big enough following to be viable at the writing of this review.

UGETube, very well implemented and maintained but no reach or much growth.

God Bless

Far happier with Bitchute than yooootube, The gutter media are doing their bit to knock it and give it a bad reputation but it is a free speech platform for all, not sensored like the usual Google sensorship to steer you to beleiving the Gutter media hype. I am pretty sure that more people will join and quite rightly so.

Disengenuous host

Disengenuous host, blocks video and comments agaisnt targeted content creators. No better than YouTube now, because it's owned by Google. Brand New Tube is were the refugees of YouTube and bit chute are going, I recommend you do the same and get off YouTube and bit chute, move to Brand New Tube asap. It's our turn to demonetize their platforms by boycotting them and their advertising partners. Boycott all Google/FB/YouTube advertisers, write a bad review on the corporate site of all evil tech panderers and advertisers and boycott their products for life! Destroy them, starve them, they're traitors, make them irrelevant, bankrupt them. Amen.

Bitchute is as bad as YouTube on explicit content and buggy

Bitchute wouldn't link my YouTube videos. I kept getting an error. And on the times it does work it rips the video and recompressing again. On tandem uploads I still end up with shod poor video quality that ends up worse than the YouTube uploaded? They also lie about freedom of speech and artistic expression. 18+ content gets either banned, hidden and then demonitized. Anything with sexual content is shunned. Even if you're an artist or video game player. Who does livestream draws or livestream game plays. Streaming works 1 out of 20 times. And while they claim to be an alternative to YouTube, found out that Google owns a part of their shareholding (company) since the whole implementation of the YouTube channel linking. PornHub is for porn only. Not only that Pornhub wants a paid subscription to get into the monetization program. SO I thought Bitchute could be a mixture of content where it could be a mixture of mostly explicit adult content and normal content on the side. I thought I wouldn't have to worry about what I would be uploading. Guess I was proven wrong. YouTube is moral leftist authoritarian and bitchute has moral authoritarian left and right users roaming around. Seriously the site is just as prudish as YouTube. I have asked on multiple occasions if Bitchute will just make an 18+ branch where our main bitchute channels can be linked to but have gotten no word back. Where is the freedom of artistic expression? 1 out 5. Seriously, like, WTH man.

Owned by Google, Bad as Youtube!

Well, lo & behold, viewers! Bitchute is run by Google & YT. I've been looking for another CONTENT CREATOR SUPPORTIVE platform. YT's video processing is apparently par the course with Bitchute from a lot of the reviews. Been waiting 2 DAYS for a 1:50 minute video to process & add the music--from the YT audio library. Crap! They refuse to answer/support the content creators. Was hoping further research into the oft-touted Bitchute would be BETTER than YT, not EQUAL to or in any way similar! Channels getting taken down, comments being censored. Hey, that sounds familiar! I can keep crappy YT for all of THAT "good" service! Feel free to join the YT boycott for fake subscriber numbers (too low), unfair watch time hours (also inaccurate to screw the YTubers) & the view counts. No YT on 9.13.20 for 24 hours: no log ins, no uploading/creating (no problem there, studio has quit functioning) & no watching (still no problem there, previous video stays on new channel page info without changing)! Meanwhile, Mark Cuban, can't you create a creator-oriented, supportive platform?? Update: Just sent Mr. Cuban an email requesting him to create a new platform. We can hope! YT, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Bitchute don't fit the bill! Well, hello! Guess what? I have a Twitter account & never signed up for one! How's that for a "secure" platform, lol!

Crap quality

I have posted well over 460 videos on bitchute. There has never been a full 72 hours of problem free service from bitchute. The upload sucks to the core. I have written to them at least 40 times, and in the last 10 emails, not once they've responded, and have no intention of fixing the constant error 525 and 404, and their dismal upload and video processing. The only supposed positive thing about it is the supposed uncensorship, but then again I questioned them on it, and they never denied. Apparently it is located only 2 mins away from the Royal Army 77th Brigade, which is the military unit handling and fighting cyber anti mainstream and official narratives. I no longer trust bitchute! I'm starting to think it is set up by the British government to gather names and information on oppositions.

Free speech? Pffffttt

Free speech? Only if you're a right wing nutcase, or a hardcore anti-semite with intentions of posting dodgy weblinks on every board and harassing users. Horrible place, full of mentally ill haters. I don't think one of my comments lasted more than 4 hours before being flagged by bigots or the foil hat brigade and removed. They were genuinely tame by comparison. Hoping for an adult debate or discussion on videos and remarks there is like passing wind in a storm. Pointless using it, just before shutting my account they starting implementing moderation where every comment was withheld under some spam filter before publication. A 'Hate' video host. No interest in using it to upload content or otherwise. There is nothing to lose beyond your dignity, so I say try it first and see what I mean. Free speech should work both ways, not just in favour of neo-nazis with an agenda online.

I totally support the concept of bitchute and am very eager to use it but the website and mobile app itself is so poor that I can hardly navigate it. Pages are always failing to load and there are endless bugs. This is true of every device I have attempted to stream bitchute on. I have been signed out, unable to sign in, videos have failed to load at all, I am unable to do a new search unless I close the app/page. I keep having to open and close the app or web page and switching between browsers to avoid different errors and bugs. Links text often overlaps and are impossible to click. This really brings bitchute down and makes it a headache to use.

Better then youtube! You voice can be heard! This site = Real Truth

A great site for anyone that believes in freedom of speech regardless of what a person says! This site allows it, for both sides, no matter what, even if I disagree with someone on there on some level maybe I still believe in there right to say it and be heard. This Site Allows that Freedom. Much better than YouTube, as you are force fed what Google want you to see. The amount of funding that goes into Google/YouTube from the government, just a recipe for disaster and corruption. Excellent site. No Scam or Viruses been using this site for a year and wow! Thank you Bitchute for this platform dont sell out we need you!

Auto uploading from YouTube doesn’t…

Auto uploading from YouTube doesn’t work half the time, and for me It eventually stopped working completely. So now I have to upload every video manually. And multiple times, because half the time they get stuck in processing for days and never finish. Sometimes I have to upload large files over several hours and they just never process. It can take days to get a video onto bitchute successfully, and by then the YouTube version could Already be public, so it’s late for my bitchute viewers. Worst of all, their customer service is nonexistent. Multiple emails to their support team have gone ignored. They finally addressed the issue on their support page, but the answer is basically “we don’t have enough money so give us more so we can fix it.” BS. If you’re going to run a video hosting platform, this is something that needs to be addressed quickly. This has been going on for a year and nothing has even remotely improved. I don’t think they’re going to last much longer, and will be looking for better alternatives.
