I just spent some time looking around BitChute. (It seems I had an account set up there and everything, so I'd clearly gone through this alternative search before at some point.)
I find with these things, I get to a point where I've built up enough head of steam that I go in swinging to new territories. Then after a certain point of discovery and being confused and overwhelmed by all the new choices, I'll withdraw and leave it alone for a long while. But the next time I venture down the same path, some of my previous machete work remains evident. The path is more clear.
I'll poke around some more.
I had a similar explore around Jordan Peterson's Thinkspot site. I bought a year's worth of subscription and set everything up, and found it hopelessly confusing. -Though, to be fair, it was still very much in its beta test phase at the time.
My impression of BitChute is that a lot of the videos posted there are very much focused on angry/frustrated truth telling, featuring the kinds of personalities who were pushed off YouTube by the gate-keeping alien weirdos of the Far Left. -Which makes perfect sense, but doesn't really make it friendly for regular folks. Maybe that'll change over time.
Thinkspot, by contrast, (when I was looking through it) appears to be filled with lots of wind. It's hard to browse stacks of very long videos about philosophy. Not everybody is JBP, and in fact, a lot of people heavy into philosophy are also half-baked egos who create labyrinths of words to hide inside... Too much damned work! So I don't know how well that site will do over time.
Ideally, what I'd like to see is another YouTube, -a universal video hosting site made for everybody (mice and men!), a place equally suited to cat videos as well as high level discussion on complex topics, but all without any gatekeeping and political bias at the switchboard. We'd all like that, I suspect!
My guess is that if a place like BitChute over time becomes just such a site, the Matrix will attempt to curb that healthy behavior and re-direct it back into the total-control sandbox. My hope, however, is that continued pressure from the "Piss off!" population will cause the Matrix glitches to become frequent enough to be considered finally a full and proper containment breach. The Matrix must have its limits. There's got to be a point where the aliens will throw up their hands and walk away.
Story Time...
Once upon a warm June evening, I was over at a friend's house, and they were trying to train a new cat.
For some reason this involved putting the cat into a cardboard box and then closing the lid and telling it to stay put.
The cat, of course, was disobedient and kept jumping out. My friend would each time re-collect the cat and put bit back in the box and close the lid and tell it to stay put again.
For an hour or so this went on. I couldn't believe the cat's persistence. It seemed to be completely un-phased by repeatedly being captured and put away in the box. It never flagged in its escape efforts, never paused, never got angry. My friend, however, was becoming increasingly annoyed and impatient with the activity.
The cat won in the end and was allowed to go on its feline way as it pleased.
I remember watching this silly drama unfold and thinking.., "I'm going to be like that damned cat! Keep pushing me down, you stupid aliens. I've got nothing better to do other than disobey. Can you say the same?"
