Utreon: Good Video Hosting for Both Viewers & Creators (ad-free)
Added 2022-08-11 12:00:06 +0000 UTChttps://utreon.com/c/forgottenweapons/
I have mentioned Utreon before, but I want to take a moment to do so again. The site continues to grow and improve, and it has a bunch of features that are actually better than YouTube and Patreon - something virtually no other alternative hosting site can claim. Utreon is fundamentally a combination of independent video hosting and voluntary paid channel subscriptions (YouTube + Patreon). In a nutshell, its benefits are:
- Political & technological independence
- Based on transparency and fairness
- Solid featureset
- Real investor capital to allow it to build a sustainable model as it grows
- Not gun-specific
Utreon is still a small site, tiny compared to a behemoth like YouTube. But it continues to grow and improve, and it is a solid platform for creators to use and earn income on today as a backup or an alternative for a YouTube channel.

I hope Utreon takes off and does well. I currently watch YouTube on my TV using Roku, because it’s simple and I like the big screen. As you would get a bigger percentage of my small contribution I wouldn’t mind contributing on Utreon and watching on YouTube, but I’m too cheap to bump up to $5 per month. I spread my limited contribution budget over several channels. I’m sure $5 and up is easier for you, but there it is.
2022-08-14 17:33:33 +0000 UTCFor me Patreon and YouTube is the best current solution. As I commented on the YT vid - "I'm lazy and the vast majority of what I watch on YouTube is via the app on my TV (an LG running Web OS). So unfortunately I won't be switching to Utreon until there is an equivalent app. I know I could use the Web browser on the TV but it's a hassle to use."
2022-08-12 16:14:32 +0000 UTCI tried it and the UI is just way too clunky and early 2000's. You can also tell their servers don't have enough horsepower. Once you add the fact that a lot of the other content there is a bit of a cesspool, it's a no for me. I'll continue to support you here.
2022-08-11 23:15:35 +0000 UTCdoes sound good but frankly getting tired of the avoid yt Conflict". full30, gunstreamer, surplused, patreon, rumble..... some big some small are missing here and elsewhere alas. no I don't want yt a one bit for a good while. anoying.

2022-08-11 15:40:39 +0000 UTCIan, how long did it take for your content to go live? I signed up and had it set to copy my YT content over, but so far my account just looks like a viewer only account. (Bullets N Brass there and on YT)
2022-08-11 14:58:55 +0000 UTCBut each of those creators is getting almost nothing when you split it that finely. It's a tricky balance. But, that's why multiple platforms will survive and everyone will have preferences.
2022-08-11 14:58:00 +0000 UTCThe lowest tier will keep then small I think. In here I can support 5 my favorite content creators for that 4.99. 🤔😕
