![Well it was a good run. I guess having the only copy of the Full Greatest Story Never Told on Bitchute will do that. [1340x800 - 75KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/ZEhBty.png){kind=link}
What's funny. Is I started that BC channel when YT was deleting videos about the vegas shooting. I used BC as an archive of YT.
Well someone figured out BitChute is incorporated in the UK and started going after them. Until now they've just de-listed/privated videos from their search or out right blocked specific videos.
My BitChute channel had one of the largest mirrors of the Christchurch shooting video when it happened. With over 100k views that day and they blocked it. I was actually thinking of appealing it recently until the wave of censorship happened.
Oddly enough that video actually showed how well their p2p back end was able to scale. Because every other not YouTube/Facebook service was grinding to a halt under the load.
We're all going to have to start spinning up our own instances of Peertube or LBRY to self host videos.
As far as I'm concerned Bitchute is dead. Lack of censorship was its only redeeming quality. It's slow and has security issues--do you really want third parties to be able to track which videos you are watching? They can through the bittorrent protocol.
Third parties can track you using multiple vectors, especially considering most people are not using VPNs anyway.
You don't want to use p2p video delivery? Well good luck building a modern independent service that doesn't crash under load.
