BYO.Tube is good for Us

Connect directly with the creators you love Stop the platforms taking 50% of their earnings
Choose your content yourself Do not let the platforms decide what you see. Tweak your moderation settings for categories like violence, sensuality, and politics. Filter out enraging or scary content, or just the opposite.
Meet everyone In today's polarized world, we choose our platform based on our views. Here on BYO.Tube, you can choose your moderators yourself. While we may end up using different moderators for our political content, we can still engage with each other for our other interests, like food, sports, fashion, you name it.
Protect your privacy With all your data stored securely in your personal data server, you decide what data you want to share with advertisers, or stop sharing it altogether.
Avoid platform decay Have you noticed how sites like YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Amazon, etc. are showing you more and more ads, and less and less of the content you want to see? That's because for them, their profit is never enough. They always want more. BYO.Tube is operated by a non-profit. As long as we can cover our costs, we're good. No need to add more ads or sell your data.
