Chinese video platform Bilibili is going global to challenge Youtube (www.engadget.com)

The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website -- with no identity verification (for now at least)

To be fair billibilli in a lot of ways is much worse then YouTube has ever been.

It's aggressively poor as a platform for history channels. And while foreign politics are fine. Anything Chinese poltic related gets nuked from the platform aggressively.

The app is barely functional, changes for the worse more then YouTube does and basically has no way to support small creators.

It's in no way a YouTube alternative beyond that it hosts videos.
