BitChute
An independent video host holding millions of videos. There is no stable public API and the search page is gated behind an hCaptcha against automated visitors, so search it manually in the browser. A standard stop when sweeping alternative video platforms for copies of removed or hard-to-find footage.

Son utilité et son fonctionnement
BitChute is a peer-to-peer video host that has attracted a large share of content removed from YouTube and other mainstream platforms, making it a standard stop in any reupload sweep. It has no public API, and its search page presents an hCaptcha challenge to automated visitors, so searching requires a human session in a real browser. Echo links you to the BitChute search page and you run the query yourself.
