Comments and Reviews
BitChute has a phenomenal community and incredible potential but currently has a few serious drawbacks.
BitChute intends to become YouTube without censorship protected in part by including decentralized bittorrent functionality. (The BitChute website as a single internet location will remain centralized until everyone can somehow be part-co-host, like FreeNet or ZeroNet. This is a "decentralization" myth/flaw/oversight shared with countless other sites that claim to be free, like Steemit, Gab, InfoGalactic, etc.) Unfortunately the torrent magnets are not on every video, and sadly when in your torrent que mostly remain not seeded nor downloaded. This could easily be fixed if, in addition to their YouTube-style playback, BitChute seeded all their videos too. When the torrents are absent or unseeded you are forced to watch the videos on their site and//or use a browser flash downloader to save for your archive. Also, naming option settings for the video magnet torrents is absolutely necessary. Currently you download a video file with a short video ID alphanumeric coded name, rather than a good title including useful descriptors like where it came from (BitChute), the author/channel/publisher, the name of the file/video/title, the date, and other details such as the short alphanumeric code, the video resolution, audio compression, and/or the time length.
If BitChute were really serious about being successful, in addition to fixing the torrent issues mentioned, they'd open source the project, have a forum and/or wiki for developers and users, encourage mirrored host sites, embed a crypto currency and/or rewards system (which is actually in the works), social network cross integrations, and I'm sure countless other things other people will want or may offer.

While currently light years ahead of youtube, Bitchute is quietly working with your donations behind the scenes against their mission statement to censor you, see for yourself, check out handsome truth https://www.bitchute.com/video/z6TRBk7py6lA/ there is no greater coward and enemy of the human race than the traitor. Now more then ever we must work to ensure truly honorable and uncensorable platforms that are not merely controlled opposition.
They claimed to be decentralized and were proven not to be. They claimed to be free speech and enforce more censorship than YouTube. They don't even reliably enforce their own guidelines and the community is even more a crapfest than YouTube's. Need I say more?
It's a good place to start looking for information that actually matters. Lots of old Youtube stuff is in there, from before rampant censorship and hysteria about 'conspiracy lunatics' really took place. However, Bitchute is also a haven of trolls and the so-called controlled opposition, meant to distract, confuse or scare you away. And lots of others are in it just for the money. Watch out for huge channels like Alex Jones or Stew Peters trying to hook you up to the sensationalism, hopium and fearmongering.
Just seeing the title of some videos burnt my brain cell.
alt-right echo chamber, youtube has censorship for a reason
Youtube has censorship because it's run by left wing pricks that don't want people to hear the truth.
Literally all I saw when I checked it out in 2022 was bible content, conspiracy theories about ritualized sex abuse in DC, (fake looking) Nazi blah blah, ancient aliens, and the like. No way I'm uploading over there, my viewers would think I'm a nut. Maybe that is just a side effect of being the only place these people can post videos? While I am a free speech absolutist, none of my viewers are going to want to see this content next to my own, so for me it is unusable.
