Simply sign up with your name and email address, and you’re good to go.

BitChute’s promise is to “put creators first and provide them with a service that they can use to flourish and express their ideas freely.” Put simply, it’s a video-based social media platform just like YouTube… Since its creation in 2017, BitChute has seen its share of criticism. Because without the rules, it’s naturally packed with extremists and hate comments. But ignoring these, you can easily find a ton of interesting content on the platform. There’s news, current events, and a host of topics such as animation, business, education, gardening, health, and more.
