We all know about Bitchute etc, but what about platforms with non-political content?

There's some decent stuff on Dailymotion. Music, old TV shows, etc.
Odysee is also pretty good for hobby videos. There is a lot of political content, but also content that isn't explicitly political, but still not welcome on YouTube: guns hobbyists, survivalists, that kind of thing.
Rumble if you enjoy having your politics interspersed with videos of cute puppers.
+1 for Odysee. I've been surprised at the amount of normie content on there that I sometimes watch on youtube, like retro gaming/emulation and techie-type stuff.
I was expecting it to all be fringe political stuff like bitchute is and was pleasantly surprised to see it wasn't. Probably a good sign for its long-term chances for survival.
Another vote for Odysee. The quality is quite good and the selection of content is much more diverse, as mentioned.
Another thing I like is that it takes “credits” to post videos to Odysee which I think keeps the low quality AI created content at bay.
Rumble is hosted in Canada, which will be censoring it with Bill-C10 when that passes (again)
Odysse and Bitchute provide an auto-upload from YouTube feature, so many of the videos on them are made for YouTube (with the same censorship). Bitchute is also vunerable to UK laws. Odysee is the most normie of the most used alternatives, even has commies.
If you speak japanese, there's niconico.
DailyMotion is an old site before YouTube became big. There are others from then still around like Veoh, or Vimeo. They probably don't host much political content.
If you have a creator you're interested in (and will pay), Locals and Rokfin are where some post original censorship free videos (no porn). Locals also has community features, so you can talk or share information with like-minded people. There are also sites like BlazeTV, or Banned.video that are video sites created for/by selected groups of creators. Timcast also exists if you like Tim Pool, it's supposed to get other creators, and more cultural content eventually.
Sign up for the mailing lists of creators you like if they offer one. If they use mailchimp tell them to get off or make backups (Mailchimp's banned creators at the same time their channel was banned). Also record creators' website or other web presences if they have any.
AAhhhh, my old high-sea sailing waters. How nostalgic. :)
Dailymotion purged a lot of its content, it's just a shell of its former self. Vimeo is in the same censorship boat as YouTube. There was even a big thing about them censoring certain kinds of content from artists, but I don't remember what the whole row was about.
