TruthTube

TruthTube is a video website founded by Don Sandman in 2019. Originally intended as a right-wing alternative to YouTube, the site never caught on with its intended audience (who preferred BitChute), but instead found favour with the lolcore subculture. It is currently the eighth-most-popular video site in the world (after YouTube, CreaTV, TikTok, YTMND, Dailymotion, Vimeo, and BitChute).

History
In May 2019, Don Sandman created TruthTube at only 18 years old. The website was intended as an alternative to YouTube for right-wingers, due to complaints of political censorship. However, right-wingers already had several video sites available, most notably BitChute, so TruthTube failed to catch on with its intended audience.

However, at the time, CreaTV was becoming a popular backup platform for YouTubers, which alienated several CreaTV users who joined the site solely because it wasn’t like YouTube. TruthTube became popular with the lolcore subculture.

Don Sandman was confused at first, but later realized that BitChute had already cornered the right-wing market. In September 2019, after meeting Ellen Peck (a known centrist and election boycotter), Sandman announced that he was switching affiliations to a political independent. TruthTube started marketing heavily towards lolcore users.
