By now most of us know that the corporate-owned, mainstream media is a powerful tool used to control how citizens think and behave. Telling lies is one way to deceive the public . . . but omission is another. Often it is what we are NOT told that can harm us.
As with mainstream media, the giants known as Big Tech are also hard at work, censoring information and keeping us in the dark. Fortunately, there are alternative platforms where we can exercise our rights and enjoy freedom of speech.
Remember: Monopoly is the enemy of a free society
Alternative Platforms to YouTube
There is a lot to love about YouTube, but (sadly) many content providers with important information have experienced censorship there, and not because of offensive speech or material. The way algorithms are being misused is also a problem.
Rumble
An alternative to Youtube (owned/ controlled by Google).
This platform supports free speech, which allows us to have a free society. It is also the way we find the truth.
RUMBLE has become one of the largest independent platforms not owned by Big Tech, which means that a lot of YouTube content creators are also regularly posting there. On Rumble, people can express opinions and debate the issues. Here, those who challenge the "official" narratives promoted on mainstream media will not be censored and unfairly treated. Their videos will not become less visible because of negative algorithms.
Bitchute
An alternative to Youtube (owned/ controlled by Google).
This platform supports free speech, which allows us to have a free society. It is also the way we find the truth.
BITCHUTE has become one of the largest independent platforms not owned by Big Tech, which means that a lot of YouTube content creators are also regularly posting there. On Bitchute, people can express opinions and debate the issues. Here, those who challenge the "official" narratives promoted on mainstream media will not be censored and unfairly treated. Their videos will not become less visible because of negative algorithms.
OneVSP
An alternative to Youtube (owned/ controlled by Google).
This platform supports free speech, which allows us to have a free society. It is also the way we find the truth.
OneVSP (formerly Brand New Tube) is another independent platform not owned by Big Tech. You can watch videos, documentaries/ movies and Live Streams.
Here, those who challenge the "official" narratives promoted on mainstream media will not be censored and unfairly treated. Their videos will not become less visible because of negative algorithms.
Brighteon
An alternative to Youtube (owned/ controlled by Google).
We all love Youtube, but (sadly) many content providers with important information have been censored there. Brighteon supports free speech, which allows us to have a free society.
Brighteon has become one of the largest independent platforms not owned by Big Tech, which means that a lot of content creators are already posting here, as well as on YouTube. The difference here is that published content that is not offensive but merely challenges the "official" narratives promoted on mainstream media will not be held down by negative algorithms.
Odysee
An alternative to Youtube (owned/ controlled by Google).
This platform supports free speech, which allows us to have a free society. It is also the way we find the truth.
ODYSEE has become one of the largest independent platforms not owned by Big Tech, which means that a lot of YouTube content creators are also regularly posting there. On Odysee those who challenge the "official" narratives promoted on mainstream media will not be censored, unfairly treated or disadvantaged by negative algorithms.
Just like YouTube, on Odysee you can create playlists, select "favourites" and videos to "watch later", and find previously watched videos in your "history".
Patreon
An alternative to Youtube (owned/ controlled by Google).
But . . . this is an alternative with a twist!
"Over a decade ago, musician Jack Conte was looking for a solution to his problem". Millions of people loved watching his videos on YouTube, but "only hundreds of dollars were hitting his bank account" which "didn’t add up". So he and a friend started a new kind of platform to help independent video publishers.
Patreon is where artists and content creators can build a community of fans and share their work for free. It is also a platform where they can build a community of supporters who receive exclusive materials, as they help them build a sustainable business . . . and keep creating! Patreon is an "algorithm-free" and "ad-free" zone where you can watch without interruption.

In 2023, Parler was purchased by STARBOARD, a media conglomerate which owns and operates a number of right-of-center news outlets, publications and social channels. They re-launched Parler in early 2024, announcing a “return to its roots as a robust marketplace of ideas.” Is the main objective Along with marketing objectives, is the new Parler truly a forum where free speech will flourish?
