I'm not sure how this made it to the front page, it's not really providing any useful information. Platforms like Twitch aren't really equivalent to Youtube, it's a different platform with different strengths and weaknesses, it's not something most people would want to use as a primary video host.

It's also an incredibly short list that doesn't mention any of the more interesting, uncommon alternative platforms that are popping up nowadays. You're building a list of video hosting platforms 'at a glance', and you can only come up with 5 of them?

Sentences like this read like an AI scraped each site's marketing pages and automatically generated a list from the content.

What's going on with this, is it just an SEO article designed to point people towards the company's blog, or is there some kind of actual value that I'm missing?




It also doesn't seem to have a byline which is... unusual.
