TED, Talks and presentations.
PeerTube, there is not a lot of videos, but some creators upload there.
ARTE, Euro documantries and analysis.
RedBull TV, Sports related videos.

BBC videos, diverse topics.
NFB Films, Canadian Films.

the problem about replacing youtube is that there is over 10 years worth of videos and history in youtube. Not only do you need new content to appear somewhere else, the old content has to be available too or majority will not even consider alternatives. And if enough people wont even consider them there is no way the alternatives will gain content creators.

Google has us on iron grip with this one and it can most likely ONLY be broken through legislation. It isnt really realistic to even start downloading worthwhile stuff from youtube and putting it elsewhere, though it would be better than nothing.

yep, having that under control of one corporation is unacceptable. Imagine if some corporation owned pyramids or caves full of paintings by first humans to such extent they could grind it all to gravel if they wanted. Right now they are preventing fair use of the content too, by forbidding downloads of the videos.

Google has way too much control anyway, since google account has become too important for many people and getting it suspended would mean catastrophe to such individual.
