A non-tracking video sharing platform for secure and private video upload and view experience
PewTube is an alternative video sharing and streaming platform with a focus on protecting user privacy and avoiding surveillance. Unlike mainstream platforms like YouTube, PewTube does not track, analyze, or profile its users and their watching habits.
When users upload videos to PewTube, the platform does not collect personal metadata or try to recommend related content. The site also does not show targeted ads based on watch history and demographics. This allows people to browse and share video content without worrying about how their data is harvested or monetized behind the scenes.
From a functionality standpoint, PewTube works similarly to YouTube in allowing convenient video uploads and streaming in any modern browser. It supports comments and subscriptions for channel owners as well. The key difference is the strict policies limiting data collection and user profiling. For people concerned about their privacy when simply watching or sharing videos, PewTube aims to provide a surveillance-free alternative aligned with those values.
