I recently decided that I'd rather not have a Google account, deleting my membership with them along with the small personal, non-monetized YouTube channel that I had. YouTube for the most part is host to the cesspit of humanity and I never fancied the exposure that I received via that avenue anyway.
I used YouTube to host videos that I embedded on a technical site that I maintained. That site is now off-line as the hosting service that I am using has gone downhill and is no longer worth their demanded price premium. My billing period is about to expire and I've flagged the account for cancellation.
I'm in no particular rush, but I'm currently exploring my options. Can anyone advise from actual experience if any of the video-hosting alternatives to YouTube are worth dealing with? An alternative of course would be hosting my videos myself, but the rare video that gets briefly promoted somewhere with high traffic might occasionally crap out due to "bandwidth" limitations. A lot of the lower-tier plans from web hosts advertised to be "unlimited" really aren't when you read the fine print.
