Peer tube is probably the closest open source freedom loving network, but the content is sparse now.

Also from a creators prespective it is neither that easy to use nor cheap. With all there is certainly problematic and wrong with Youtube, it's a really good service thats hard to beat. Videostreaming demands a lot from servers. I've yet to find a way to host vidoes for Peertube in an affordable way where I don't have to worry about basic stuff. (Any suggestions?)
I don't know what basic stuff you mean, but as a suggestion if I was looking for cheap servers with high storage and unlimited high speed bandwidth, I'd look at seedboxes.
An example on the first hit gives you: 1TB of space, 20Gbit unlimited up and management features for €14.95
I haven't used this company but I have used other seedboxes
Nebula costs ~$15/year. The content is mostly great, mobile app is a disaster.
Nebula is great. But it's not really a YouTube alternative.
Random people can't upload videos.
it's not that easy to find a real Youtube alternative, I tried it recently and got meek results, sharing them from my personal notebook:
- Odysee – a youtube for righwingers and scammers 😒
- Bit-Chute – a youtube for the far right lost in conspiracy madness 🤮
- DTube – a youtube that runs on Blockchain? 🙄
- Vimeo – NEXT!
- Daylimotion – hm, not bad maybe but idk 🤔
- peertube – too confusing 😵💫
- means.tv – seems nice, but too expensive 😢
I haven't checked it out in about 5 years, but PeerTube instances could be worth checking out.
It's actually surprising no-one else said it, since it's open source and federated (just like Lemmy is)
Yes, PeerTube is a really good option to upload Videos, but none of te alternative sites is a alternative of YT respect content, you don't find the among of music and free movies, apart of an inbuild editor, in any of the other Platforms, at least not in the moment.
