"just build your own platform"

The good news is that the continued censorship will fuel adoption of crypto and speed up the demise of parasitic middlemen who take a cut off every transaction

This is the best thing that could've happened to them. Otherwise I would've never heard of Bitchute, now they're going to be famous.

This is a great example of how 'just set up your own platform' may not be the best solution to issues of censorship and what not. Because if you do, then the platforms you need for things like payment processing are also likely to ban your service for much the same reasons as before, and neutral alternatives to them are few and far between.

Still, I guess this does provide a good use case for cryptocurrencies and what not.

Pretty sure they were banned for taking on a public political stance supporting disinformation peddlers like Alex Jones. Payment processers don't want to be associated with this kind of content for obvious reasons.

Would anybody like to fill us in on what BitChute is, in theory and / or in practice?
