Sources for the "# videos (millions)" column
[edit]Hello, I'd like to point out that the sources for the column "# videos (millions) sources" for Dailymotion and Vimeo don't match what I'm currently seeing (72,500,000 and 20,800,000 respectively). I doubt that the real/actual number of videos has gone down over time, though I don't have a source to back up that claim.
However, I'd also like to point out that basing this data off of a Google search seems problematic to say the least, as Google owns YouTube. I don't have an alternative to propose, but I'd say taking these data at face value doesn't seem like a good idea when there's an obvious conflict of interest. At the very least it should be written on the page that most of the data in this column is from Google. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bl4kers (talk • contribs) 05:42, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- The Google "site:" searches as sources are total bullshit. Someone should remove all of them from the article. --143.176.30.65 (talk) 22:25, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
Deleting "Site traffic" section for copyright violation
[edit]All information provided in this section comes from only one source: alexa.com, which clearly states in its Terms of Service https://www.alexa.com/help/terms that nothing from the website will be re-distributed in any form. This is not compliant with the CC and FDL licenses and should be completely deleted, as I will do right now. Francisco Ferioli Marco (talk) 03:36, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- There are only two sources that I know of that provide this sort of data for free: alexa.com and similarweb.com. Of these two, Alexa is more complete. As for Alexa's terms of service, you seem to be misunderstanding the sentence that reads You may not incorporate any portion of the Software into your own programs or compile any portion of it in combination with your own programs, transfer it for use with another service, or sell, rent, lease, lend, loan, distribute or sub-license the Software or otherwise assign any rights to the Software in whole or in part. This clearly refers to their software, not to their published data. If linking to their webpages is a copyright violation, most of Wikipedia is also in violation.Vgy7ujm (talk) 16:49, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
Unnecessary information
[edit]What does the "Registration Required" mean in the first section. A registration to upload videos? if so Bitchute was added incorrectly as Bitchute requires a registration to upload videos (If it is this case, the column would not be necessary as they all contain the same value) or does it mean a registration to watch videos, if that is the case most of these don't require a registration to watch so they are added incorrectly.
Is it worth keeping the information about the video player since all of these require HTML5 to watch videos. Haris920 (talk | contribs) 19:34, 2 May 2022
BitChute has advertisements
[edit]This wiki page claims that BitChute does not have ads, which is false: https://advertising.bitchute.com/ 50.47.217.230 (talk) 17:13, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
