While the Youtube purges did follow some obvious political lines, most of them were nuts. The only reason you go to Bitchute is that Youtube gave you the boot so that's their niche right now. I think these companies are trying to position themselves to be in a good place if these platforms ever trigger a more mainstream exit. But the fringe content makes them highly unpalatable so good luck. This is why I won't sink a penny into these sites right now despite my issues with Youtube, Facebook ect.

This may provide Bitchute with some diversity of content. I think this counts as a fringe community just not one that's all American right wingers. It remains to be seen if these communities are compatible (one group calling the other one "sand ****ers" in the comments might be an issue since Bitchute doesn't censor anything).
