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:
- 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.
- Community - this platform is infamous for spreading hate speech and conspiracy theories, which I didn't want to associate myself with.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Invidious - a popular third party client for watching YouTube videos (still need to visit YT to leave comments or ratings)
- Odysee channel - here I've cloned all my MarkusTegelane YouTube videos should something happen with YT
- 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.
