Official Hooktube Thread

Since every other discussion seems to be getting derailed with Hooktube/Anti-hooktube flaming. So type away! I'll start:

Anti-hooktubers, why don't you like Hooktube? Are you incredulous to the legitimacy of such a project? Or do you think it's unethical? Or are you frustrated that there are people using Hooktube and not looking for a true, viable alternative to YouTube?

If I might ask, aren't the sites that you mentioned pretty left-leaning?

If they are, they're of an earlier incarnation of the left that wouldn't be for overt political correctness, and blatant censoring of expression. I know BitChute is associated with James Corbett, and I consider him to be something of an apolitical, non-system liberal (if that makes any sense).

If not in reality, at least in principle they have to be in order to be marketable, and they're not overtly trying to be a holocaust denier haven.

Not explicitly, no. They're for (near) total freedom of expression. PewTube doesn't have a "hate speech" clause in their terms of service, for example, I'm not sure about the other two, but I would say they're probably similar. That's pretty much what makes them marketable; they don't outright say that they're going to be a haven for people who question aspects of the Holocaust, but they're not going to take down their videos or censor them, either. The common YouTube watcher looking at Vevo branded music videos are probably never going to move to any of these sites, but activists (of all persuasions) will.
