I’m in the process of divorcing google so YT is a HARD no for me. Google had demonetized my friend’s viral video (close to a decade ago) of his 5 1/4" floppy drives playing toccata & fugue in d minor over MIDI and it left a FOWL taste in my mouth. Most of my videos are 45-90 minutes in length. Night time videos are 2.5~gb. My day time videos are 8-10~gb. I’m currently looking at playeur vs odesee but playeur has a much lower file limit. I’d like to do higher quality videos but it looks like I’ll be limited to 720p content even though the original is in 1080p. I am looking to monetize my content as well. What platforms do I have available in this day and now?

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm currently underemployed and this cost is more than I can afford at this current point in my life. Any monthly costs to me ultimately need to be offset by subscription revenue and i just don't have a large enough of a base on twitch to cover this cost yet.

Both rumble and vimeo will work as alternatives. Rumble has been easier to use for me, but I’d check them both out for sure.

It looks like it's currently out of my price bracket. I guess I need to grind more on getting more subscribers before I can have a budget to spend on a platform for archival purposes.

To be clear, you're looking for someone to both cover the costs of hosting your videos and serving them to the world, and pay you?

TV must be very strange to you

I don't watch TV or movies anymore. The last film I remember watching, I was in a military PAX (PAssenger Transport) terminal awaiting a bird to take this princess to another castle, and some troll thought it'd be a good idea to leave the movie, "Black Hawk Down" playing for everyone waiting for their bird to touch down. It wasn't looking good for the protagonists and I had to leave before the movie was over. I then later experienced extreme turbulence due to a sandstorm and we had to make an unscheduled landing (luckily at somewhere I also had equipment to service) but during the whole ordeal I thought I was going to die. I then made the realization that watching TV/Movies just raises my cortisol levels, and why am I doing that to myself? I don't want that. I stopped watching TV and Movies after that. I just create content now. I only listen to music for my media consumption. I just don't get people that need to watch horror to be terrified. I don't need horror to be terrified. I can just, turn on the TV, or, go outside!

Indeed, I'm a broke wook looking to get paid. The getting paid aspect isn't a hard requirement but I would like that option, /if it's available/. The primary concern is archiving old content. I can work on monetization through live streaming or other means. As it stands I can either let content become dust blown in the wind or it can be archived somewhere. Twitch highlights (as of now) seem to last forever, I guess I can always make a highlight starting at t=+00:10 and ending at t=-00:10 but IDK if I'll eventually get an email from twitch saying that I'm "using too much storage".

None. YouTube is still the best for uploading anything and being able to monetize it with ads.

Maybe consider selling it as stock footage?

[–] shades@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 year ago

I didn't know that was a thing. Where can I look for potential clients to purchase said stock footage?
