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?
To be clear, you’re looking for someone to both cover the costs of hosting your videos and serving them to the world, and pay you?
OP: yes.
😂
TV must be very strange to you
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.
Just as a nitpick. I assume you meant foul?
no, it tasted like chicken
REALLY tasted like chicken
Nah, they just hate the taste of birds
The fowl was foul duck.
I spun up my own PeerTube instance for me and my family to archive our videos so that I’d be in control of file sieze upload, etc… But I’m not monetizing anything.
It looks like it’s currently out of my price bracket. I guess I need to grind more on getting more subscribers before I can have a budget to spend on a platform for archival purposes.
Rumble is free to upload videos to. I haven’t uploaded to Vimeo in a while, so I’m not as sure on that one. I believe the paid tiers for Rumble are just for commercial accounts to use to display videos with no ads and they also unlock streaming.
None. YouTube is still the best for uploading anything and being able to monetize it with ads.
Maybe consider selling it as stock footage?

Thanks for the suggestion but I’m currently underemployed and this cost is more than I can afford at this current point in my life. Any monthly costs to me ultimately need to be offset by subscription revenue and i just don’t have a large enough of a base on twitch to cover this cost yet.
Ah, my bad. Looks like it’s invite-only for creators https://www.reddit.com/r/watchnebula/comments/uuz71q/how_to_become_a_nebula_contributorcreator/ (Sorry for the Reddit link)
I checked because it seemed odd to me that they would charge creators
