Chances that creators you like are there are basically zero. These alternatives are potential, not actual. The biggest of them, Vimeo doesn’t even have a user-facing frontpage.

Last I saw, Vimeo charged the uploader to host the content. And it's only use case was corporate videos where you wanted to ensure there was no suggested content or adverts around your own content. Though these days I'm not sure companies care as I haven't seen a vimeo link in a long time.

I listed 6 and you choose to complain about one. I don't care about any creators, I have a life. I use videos as a tool, if it fits what I'm searching for
