   Hi folks. So with YouTube doing too much advertising nonsense I've decided to move my videos elsewhere but since peertube.co.uk has gone away, thanks in part to the UK Online safety bill, where is a good spot to host videos? Possibly Vimeo? Does anyone have any other options? Maybe a non-UK location?

     @oni moving to another PeerTube instance that is open for new users isn't a viable choice? Using (and paying) Vimeo doesn't look better than using YouTube ...

     @rennerocha Vimeo makes it clear who is paying for the service and I think it's model is a bit more positive. I'm happy to pay for hosting of video.

     @oni you can clearly know who you are paying for a Peertube instance as well (if you chose it with care). The only difference is that the money for Vimeo is going to a NASDAQ traded company that needs to answer to stakeholders (not you) or to a community/person hosting an open source project, federated, that is more likely to listen to your needs.

     It is more a philosophical choice than technical anyway ...

     @rennerocha I see your point there. I felt it was a step up from Youtube in that I was paying the real costs, rather than the viewers through advertising. I'm hoping I'll get accepted on a Peertube instance which should solve things.
