Deleting BitChute channel

I have now sent a request to delete my channel and starting from next week, you will no longer be able to watch videos, which I have posted to BitChute platform. Here's a list of reasons I decided to do this:

  1. Low activity - I posted to this platform during the 2019-2025 timeframe only about 6 videos and in total they recieved 924 views and 2 subscribers. Due to this microscopic viewership I lost motivation for posting videos.
  2. Community - this platform is infamous for spreading hate speech and conspiracy theories, which I didn't want to associate myself with.
  3. Bitrate and quality - all videos on that platform are in a lower quality compared to YouTube videos. Since my videos contain thin fonts and small text, it may be difficult to read it due to the low quality.
  4. Odysee channel - I also have a channel on the Odysee platform and due to this I see no reason why should I maintain a channel on a platform that is technically worse in every way.
  5. Synchronising YouTube videos - Again, one reason I made the LBRY/Odysee channel - to make a backup of all my YT videos on another platform. This function wasn't available on the BitChute platform in 2019 (when I made the channel). Even when it later came out, it only synced new videos and not the old ones.
If you want to watch my videos without visiting YouTube, here are a couple of options for you:
  1. Invidious - a popular third party client for watching YouTube videos (still need to visit YT to leave comments or ratings)
  2. Odysee channel - here I've cloned all my MarkusTegelane YouTube videos should something happen with YT
  3. Channel database stream function - by visiting https://localhost.markusmaal.ee/channel_db_lite, you have the ability to choose a video and click on "View/Download". This gives you the maximum quality video stream. Note: this option may not always be available.
