I would be interested in some alternatives if there are any.
Vimeo, Bit Chute, Liveleak, and Dailymotion come to mind.
Youtube has used Regular Joes to build up their client base. Once they’ve gotten to a level they wanted, they piss on the people and the ‘content builders’ who built it. I hope youtube crashes and burns and all the little totalitarian geeks end up on the street.

Plenty of places to post videos.
Places where people are likely to find them and watch them?
None.
The alternative to YouTube is actual real life.
Books.
The future is BitChute. Decentralized, cryptocurrency, and the corporate media has failed to snuff it out so far. Most banned YouTubers are heading there and also posting on Gab and Minds. Gab is a Twitter replacement which the corporate media and banks have tried to deplatform (and failed) and Minds is a Facebook replacement.
There is nowhere to go for the ability to have customer driven content without it also be susceptible to trying to appease whiny snowflake customers.
TOTALLY peer to peer, *impossible* to shut-down.
It’s the Napster of video.
There have been plenty.
But when ones start up, all of a sudden all of the people that hate YouTube become YouTube fanboys and crap on the new service.
I’d guess your friend will need to develop and publish his media on different search engines like duckduckgo and bing.
Unless your selling house paint or dog food, fascist Google can take down any monetized website at its whim. Develop your website for users who surf on other search platforms. If the website is effective, it will attract Google users.
Just my 2 cents.
