Have you used the Bitchute Importer? I'm trying to import my 4 channels to Bitchute, I've got videos in the Importer "Backed up" but nothing on Bitchute proper. I'm doing a sort of back up through takeout.google.com too just in case.
YouTube could fix this easily with an age-gate for users who aren't logged in. They just don't care and pisses me off too. I may have a small channel, but I've built a reputation as a knowledge lore geek for all things Dragon Age and built a community of loyal viewers on YT. The thought of losing all that is sad and frustrating and the fear of a fine is terrifying.
