Is It Worth It to Stream on Bitchute? Is It Worth It to Stream on Bitchute?
Discussion

I have had my Bitchute account linked to my YouTube for about 7 months now. I am at the point where I have a very small following on the site.

I also love LIVE streaming, but I only stream on YouTube, Twitch, and sometimes Kick. Given that my PC hardware doesn't hit encoding overload in OBS.

Recently, I might have found a fix to encoding overload in OBS, though. If I stream to Rumble studio then have them multi stream to these services, my PC load will be a lot cheaper allowing me to stream to a plethora of additional sites!

So, is it worth it to live stream here on Bitchute? Is there an active LIVE watching community on this website? I know LIVE streaming here is a new feature so IDK if there is a community for that yet.

TLDR: Is streaming on Bitchute worth it? Is there an audience for LIVEs on the platform, or will no one watch me, especially because I am a small channel?





OLD Bitchute vs New Bitchute OLD Bitchute vs New Bitchute

Anyone else strictly use OLD.bitchute besides me? NEW ui was always inferior to me in many ways, but today I found a new one when a cookie clear put me back on NEW Bitchute. If you go to any category and then click on the ALL tab... it is VERY FAR from "all", more like one or two per day. If you do the same with OLD, All of the videos indeed get loaded. WTF is the point of an ALL tab that does not show ALL? what "algo" determines those few that ARE shown? Seems a rapid degradation into Just another agenda pusher, narrative driver, soft censor, that does little but attract and then track radicals like poorly disguised MI6Spooks

New. No views on videos. Just a simple question...... New. No views on videos. Just a simple question......

I guess I'm going by Youtube experience where will at least get hundreds to a thousand views per video even with no engagement so I get it my videos aren't universal or anything but on Bitchute there is like 2-3 views per video. Does anyone know how Bitchute presents videos to people? I just wish I knew if people were seeing titles and thumbnails and just saying, "No." or if they aren't seeing them at all. Any ideas?

I wonder if they want people to keep posting videos and the more there are the more they start showing people the thumbnails? What do you think?


Bitchute ads have no video, just the audio Bitchute ads have no video, just the audio
Help

For some reason, when the video ads interrupt a Bitchute video, or I get an ad at the start of a video, I literally only get the audio. In the ad I might hear someone saying something about "click the link below to get product" or something of the sort, but without the video, I also don't have whatever the in-video clickable link is, either. At that, I would figure there could be some sort of skip-the-ad button at a certain point into the ad, like I see with Youtube ads, but there's nothing like that appearing for me either.

Why am I not getting the video of these ads? This is on Opera One.


Most of the issues on the site are caused by adblockers, my recommendation is to uninstall or allowlist the site in them Most of the issues on the site are caused by adblockers, my recommendation is to uninstall or allowlist the site in them

Ublock origin recently did an update that breaks the upload button, adblock plus interferes with autoplay etc. Bitchute allows to disable ads for free from settings, interface. Of course it is recommended to buy a membership otherwise the site just goes belly up and goodbye.



Changing my username or make a channel? Changing my username or make a channel?

From what I can tell the current tutorial on their site is for an older/different version from my androids and I seem to be stuck with a strange default username and profile picture. Additionally is there a time restriction on making a channel? Made an account but the button to make a channel is greyed out and unresponsive. Sorry if I sounded foolish but this just is not as something I've any experience with.

BITCHUTE BANNED IN THE UK! NEW REGULATION!
[deleted]
BITCHUTE BANNED IN THE UK! NEW REGULATION!

Boycott this ban by always using a VPN to access Bitchute!

"To our valued users in the United Kingdom,

After careful review and ongoing evaluation of the regulatory landscape in the United Kingdom, we regret to inform you that BitChute will be discontinuing its video sharing service for UK residents.

The introduction of the UK Online Safety Act of 2023 has brought about significant changes in the regulatory framework governing online content and community interactions. Notably, the Act contains sweeping provisions and onerous corrective measures with respect to content moderation and enforcement. In particular, the broad enforcement powers granted to the regulator of communication services, Ofcom, have raised concerns regarding the open-ended and unpredictable nature of regulatory compliance for our platform.

The BitChute platform has always operated on principles of freedom of speech, expression and association, and strived to foster an open and inclusive environment for content creators and audiences alike. However, the evolving regulatory pressures—including strict enforcement mechanisms and potential liabilities—have created an operational landscape in which continuing to serve the UK market exposes our company to unacceptable legal and compliance risks. Despite our best efforts to navigate these challenges, the uncertainty surrounding the OSA’s enforcement by Ofcom and its far-reaching implications leaves us no viable alternative but to cease normal operations in the UK.

Therefore, effective immediately, BitChute platform users in the UK will no longer be available to view content produced by any other BitChute user. Because the OSA’s primary concern is that members of the public will view content deemed unsafe, however, we will permit UK BitChute users to continue to post content. The significant change will be that this UK user-posted content will not be viewable by any other UK user, but will be visible to other users outside of the UK. Users outside the UK may comment on that content, which the creator will continue to be able to read, delete, block, reply and flag. Users outside the UK may share UK-user produced content to other users outside of the UK as normal. In other words, for users in the UK, including content creators, the BitChute platform is no longer a user-to-UK user video sharing service.

We deeply regret the inconvenience and disappointment this decision may cause to our UK users and partners. This decision was not taken lightly. It reflects our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of compliance, protecting our community, and ensuring that our platform remains a safe and sustainable space for creative expression globally. We recognize the value of our UK community and extend our sincerest apologies for the disruption caused by this necessary step. Our support team remains available to answer any queries or concerns regarding this transition.

We appreciate the support and engagement of our community around the world and remain dedicated to providing a platform that champions free expression and innovative content sharing in an environment of regulatory certainty.

Thank you for your understanding."

Extremely long processing times or doesn't work at all Extremely long processing times or doesn't work at all

Bitchute has always been insufferable. If you can actually make it past the upload screen, then one could expect to wait an hour or two. This has gotten so much worse recently. I'm not sure if it still works. I tried for 3 hours to upload a tiny 3 minute one and the only one that eventually made it was an experimental version where the video portion was replaced with a blank screen. Not more then a month ago I could upload big files an hour or two long without waiting two long, but now no matter when I start the process, if it does eventually publish it's going to be 3 AM when no one is there to see it.

Is there something wrong on my end? Has anyone else noticed 3-4 hour processing times at least? Seems if I want to try and get in by midnight I'll have to start early in the morning.

The entire system is so picky. Sometimes it doesn't like the thumbnail, sometimes it doesn't like any text in the description until after it's fully uploaded. If while waiting I converted my WMV to an MP4, delete the WMV, and start a new upload of the MP4, it will never make it past 100% uploaded. In that case I have to move the file to a different folder and start there.

It's just so insanely picky. Half the battle is getting past the upload screen, but lately nothing I do works. I can't even risk leaving the description blank or using a blank thumbnail Its pretty much gotten to where I upload something, check back in the next couple hours, invariably see other uploads that would've been PERFECT neighbors to my video appearing, and then check back tomorrow and see it got through with no picture and description and no one saw it.

As the platform grows, and continues to attract all these Christians who "cross land and sea to make one convert and make him twice the child of hell," by constantly reuploading the same video over and over again, if you want to upload anything on Bitchute, you better start processing the video a week early, and hope that your thumbnail and description isn't causing an internal error.

In the past there has been times when I just try reuploading with more simple file name, or no descpripton text, or simple thumbnail and it gets in while the other one doesn't. I am losing hope. Nothing is working anymore. It's been 3 hours. Can't get in until no one is watching, if at all.

New web UI middle-button bug New web UI middle-button bug

I like the look and feel of the new UI, but it broke one of the basic features I use all the time. When I click on notifications bell, middle mouse click a link in the dropdown list should open the link in a new tab, but instead it marks it as read and removes it from the list.

I can still right click and select "open in new tab", or even use middle button in the "all notifications" page , but not in the notifications dropdown. I can't find any configuration for this behavior, but if anyone knows a solution that'll be great.





YouTube sync no longer working? YouTube sync no longer working?

I've been syncing to my bitchute account from YouTube for years. That last sync was for five or so videos on July 17th, 2024. And none since. This was shortly after the new layout. Related? I no longer even see any option for YouTube syncing in any menu. What happened?

(Rumble wrote months ago that YouTube stopped cooperating with their syncing. Though Odysee, even under new management, still syncs just fine.)

Can't get Password Reset Can't get Password Reset

I've been getting spammed a lot suddenly with updates from channels I subscribed to, and want to unsubscribe from e-mail alerts. I have to log in to do so and forgot my password. I'm entering the e-mail that I'm getting the notifications on into the password reset form. Nothing is showing up in my inbox, promotions, or spam folders (or any other folders). Anyone have a clue how to solve this? Worse-come-worse I'll just block bitchute's e-mail from sending me notifications all together but that seems a bit nuclear.



Long form content Long form content

I am really glad that the mobile app is working again!

I wanted to provide some feedback about why I prefer to use bitslide as my preferred mobile app and a suggestion or 2 for future updates/features.

It just works and is much smoother than rumble. I drive for work and I can't be messing with skipping ads or pushing extra buttons for safety. When I need to get the app out of the way there's nothing clunky about it.

It's the easiest place to find raw video of major events.

In future updates it would be nice to filter my feed for only long form content. Yes it already has that feature for search results but if there were a filter for the feed that would be amazing.

Other platforms tend to encourage short from content. Perhaps that's a trend you will have to follow to be "competitive" with other platforms, but I also think it's important for the future of bitchute to understand what makes it different because it will never truly compete with YouTube and may not ever be competitive with Rumble either.

I think the biggest strength is the simplicity of the mobile app. Just keep it simple and maybe make it easy to filter out short from content for long drives and to avoid too much scrolling. if that happens I will use it forever.

Can't log in to old accounts Can't log in to old accounts

I've got two BitChute accounts that I haven't logged in to for at least 3 maybe 4 years, but I saved the usernames and passwords (very long randomly generated passwords) in my password manager.

Problem is I can't log in to any of them. All I get is "Login credentials are invalid. Please double-check your username and password." when using the new URL, and "Please enter a correct username and password. Note that both fields may be case-sensitive." when using the old URL.

Password recovery is a no-go for these accounts because I never noted which email address I used. I'm not sure why I didn't do that.

Now if was only one account with this issue I might have written it off, but since it's two of them I'm guessing the issue is related to the age of the accounts. So... what happened while I was gone? Are the accounts in some sort of dormant state, or did something happen to the password hashes on Bitchute's side sometime after 2020?

Search won’t load results in new bitchute?
Help

Got on bitchute this morning and found the whole new update, for some reason every time I go to search for videos I get an error message to refresh the page and try again (doesn't work and server status check says everything is ok). This may or may not be an issue with the new bitchute because it happens on the old site to. I'm not logged in although i wouldn't think that has anything to do with it, and I don't use the app I usually just go through the default iphone browser, which is actually surprisingly good if you've never used it so I'm not sure what the problem is here, any help would be much appreciated.

Newly created e-mail is subscribed to Bitchute Newly created e-mail is subscribed to Bitchute
Help

[SOLVED]

Hi, so I created a new email the other day, and before I even had started making any accounts to connect to said e-mail, Bitchute starts sending me e-mails as if I have an account there and as if I am subscribed. I have no account, I've never even heard of Bitchute, I am not even American, and would very like to not get spammed down by BitChute.

To unsubscribe I apparently have to make myself an account, which defeats the purpose, I am not American I do not need an account nor do I want an account.

What's going on? Anyone else experience this?

Adding: In two days I have received OVER 70 e-mails from Bitchute.
2nd Add: This is also not meant to be my private e-mail, but an e-mail for a small local organization, which makes it even less relevant.
3rd Add: Apparently someone had this e-mail one year and seven months ago and they, made an account there which is what happened. I have now deleted the account.




I can't believe they have uglified the BitChute UI even more I can't believe they have uglified the BitChute UI even more
Discussion

I thought the original BitChute was ugly mobile slop already. But no! Lo and behold, even more functionality has been removed! The sea floor can never be reached!

What do I mean exactly? Let's see.

1, The home page for the user page is not the videos but this weird "home" where you have to make yet another click to the video page!

2, The video descriptions used to be visible from the channel page, all at a glance - now they're hidden! (I actually put a few other links in my videos, and just today wanted to see it immediately - and that's why I'm writing this post, incidentally.)

3, The video upload dates have been hidden (this infuriates me to no end - I adored that I could see my upload schedule, like a tapestry of my lifestory - now it's the useless "2 months ago").

4, The giant useless menu panel to the left which takes a third of the screen space, woohoo!

I'm an aesthetic person. If something makes my eyes bleed, I will stop using it. This UI redesign is utterly disgusting, as they all are in this phone web 3.0. And I didn't think BitChute was alive to risk it? Does it mean it's going to shut down soon? Unfortunate if so.

I'm literally looking for people who want to file a class action lawsuit against Rumble and Bitchute. All last year I was on their platform thinking they were actually giving the news- but I all the videos I saw were fear mongering, religiously zealot like, and like even seemed to be in support of Nazi-ism; ironically for trying to volley itself as being a "free speech" platform- literally the only thing it otherwise seems to promote are slutty girls, crack-fueled unbased opinions, and Bible prophecy (also advertised as "News").

Hi.

I uploaded some videos to my account, and had them set to hidden/unpublished because I wasn't ready to show them yet. I am about ready to show/publish them, and I got the message

The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

and other videos that worked before have the same message. My account is visible worldwide so I must not be breaking the rules and I don't think I'm restricted and censored/shadowbanned, and I make sure the videos work on my computer and also after I upload them before showing them, so why is Bitchute doing this now when they worked before?

Thanks.

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/news-centre/2023/bitchute-improves-its-safety-measures-following-engagement-with-ofcom
This (purposely) flawed logic is that a platform will be held responsible for every asshat, instead of the asshat themselves being rightfully responsible. In this way a criminal government can pose bad actors on any targeted site and take them down through this insidious method.
Seeing this spells the end of Bitchute to me... its littered with censors by now., notice how "non-registered users" may now flag content...

What happened to the video player on BitChute? What happened to the video player on BitChute?

They seem to have replaced it with some new video player that is quite awful in two ways (that ive seen so far):

  • doesnt support any keyboard controls

  • no spacebar to pause/unpause

  • no seeking with arrow keys, so now i have to fatfinger my way through the 2-3 hr long podcasts i usually listen to

  • less options for playback speed

why was this change made? any chance of it being reversed?

Hey everyone,

Has anyone else noticed that BitChute videos no longer go into Picture-in-Picture mode when you leave Safari or switch apps on iPhone? It used to work seamlessly where I could watch a video, hit the home button or swipe to another app, and the video would just minimize and continue playing. Now, it just pauses and doesn’t transition to the smaller player.

Is this a recent change or an issue on my end?


Bitchute Suddenly Auto Uploading Clones, Unlisted, and Private videos from my Youtube Bitchute Suddenly Auto Uploading Clones, Unlisted, and Private videos from my Youtube
Video

I'm suddenly coming back to my Bitchute channel the next day to find 2 or 3 clones of recent videos, as well as stuff I marked unlisted or private. I haven't changed anything. This definitely did not happen in the past, because while mostly a vid goes to both places, I have some stuff I ONLY put on youtube, and some stuff I ONLY put on bitchute, and it has never done this prior to a week ago.

The only thing I could think of was to remove the link to my channel in the "website" space on personal. To be clear, I've had the Youtube URL listed here FOR YEARS, and it has never auto uploaded anything. I tried searching for this issue, all I found was Bitchute instructions to put the URL at the bottom of settings. This is NOT true. There is nothing at the bottom in the settings tab, but in the personal tab AFTER clicking settings, there is a space to put Website in the middle.

The description DOES NOT SAY videos from youtube will be automatically uploaded. Just " If you have your own website, enter the URL here. This will be displayed alongside your social media links to help users find your website. Maximum 250 characters."

This has recently caused me great anger and frustration as it was uploading PRIVATE Content. There might even be cause for a LAWSUIT here, because again there is NO auto uploading mentioned in the description, and the Bitchute page telling you how to turn it on is flat out incorrect.

Did audio compression change? Did audio compression change?

My old videos are all fine, but the new one has weird artifacts in the audio. I tried switching from aac to mp3, no takers. Then I changed the bit rate from 256 down to 96 khz. That also didn't fix it.

I'm aware that bitchute does the compression themselves, but I always try and keep the overhead low by only uploading 854x480 videos, so I thought maybe if I compress the audio too, and it's fine on my end, it will come out right on Bitchute's. Well, didn't.

Oh, and of course the video works fine over at Odysee.

Anything I can do here or is this just how it is now?

Discussion

I've given Bitchute every chance I could. It's the platform I use for any creator that I want to watch that publishes there but the constantly being logged out is getting too annoying and other platforms are available. This appears to have been an issue for at least four years now judging from my search on the issue. It happens with the website and also the app (which is hopelessly outdated). This should be a trivial fix and there's no reason for it to be like this.
