Blast.video Makes Censored Content Available In One Convenient Place.
More and more video producers are leaving fascist sites such as Google, YouTube, Spotify, and Vimeo to avoid censorship. But in doing so, conservative, libertarian, and other free speech voices are being scattered all over the internet, making their content hard to find.
Former Google employee and current whistleblower Zach Vorhies, the man who revealed how the world's biggest search engine silences facts and opinions that the global elites don't want you to know about, has created a new website called "Blast.video". Rather than being another video sharing site like BitChute or Odysee, Blast is an aggregator, which means it uses an algorithm to find and display videos from content creators no matter where the video is hosted. This means videos that might never see the light of day on a small hosting platform now have a chance to find an audience.
According to Vorhies, "the way that it cracks through censorship is that it scans open video platforms like Rumble, like Bitchute, like Brighteon, like Gab.tv and looks for new content by the content creators that you love. It takes those new videos that it finds and brings it under one single website, called Blast.Video, where it serves it to you.” While that sounds good, when I visited the site almost every video it served up came from YouTube, with a few from Rumble. Videos from Odysee, Brighteon, GAB, BrandNewTube, Rofkin, D.Tube, and Banned.tv were few and far between, if they appeared at all. I'm not sure why this is, and there's no clear explanation on the site. The best I can determine is that it looks for new and trending content by creators on Blast.video's current list and then serves the video from wherever the video is getting the most views, but that's giving YouTube an unfair advantage and leaving the small video hosting sites out of the game. No doubt this is substantially the fault of the content producers, many of whom still suck on YouTube's monetization teat and refuse to leave the beast despite their dishonest claims to care about human freedom. If you're in it for the money, at least admit it.
Despite it's current favoritism toward YouTube, it's still worth a look to see what's trending and possibly find new videos you wouldn't have found otherwise. But until they adjust the algorithm to give smaller hosting sites better visibility, I strongly suggest you keep those independent sites bookmarked and then visit them regularly. They can't stay in business without our support, and right now Blast.video is keeping them unseen and unloved.
