> A video site that doesn't serve watchable video isn't much of a video site.

Luxury problem - I frequently get no video at all because of geoblocking when I use Tor. Youtube is really a terrible video site and I don't see why everyone is using it.

Which video sites are better in your opinion? It isn't great, but all the alternatives I've seen are worse AND have way less content I'm interested in.

I've never seen a dailymotion video blocked by geoip.

Vimeo has much less content, but has never given me trouble viewing on any platform.

True, forgot about Vimeo, because I don't use it like YouTube to "discover" or explicitly seek out content, but only through outside links. It's great though.
