My Review of Clouthub – An Alternative to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube
Twitter has announced that they intend to silence accounts that post about Qanon. According to the New York Times, other large platforms plan to take similar action. Because I refuse to be silent about Q, I expect to have my Facebook page, Twitter account, and YouTube channel suspended. Some of the information I’m about to share is for the benefit of social media influencers who face having their accounts shut down. For their sake, I’m going to discuss details about social media that most people wouldn’t normally be interested in. If you’re not an influencer, you’re going to learn more about the inner workings of social media that you may want to know, but you’ll have the opportunity to consider the problems we deal with as we endeavor to make our voices heard.
Speaking Freely
Having been de-platformed on social media years ago, I didn’t want to let Silicon Valley tech companies have the last word on what I’m allowed to say. I decided to make my videos, podcasts, and articles available on a self-hosted website so that I might have greater control over my message. Publishing your own articles on a website is easy. Hosting and streaming your own videos is difficult and costly, which is why no one does it. The most practical way to offer videos to an audience is to upload them to a hosting platform, embed them on your website, and hope they don’t get removed by the hosting company.
The Headaches of Video Hosting
Most social media influencers host their videos on YouTube. Whether you love them or hate them, YouTube videos can be viewed on virtually any device or browser, and if you agree to color inside the lines, they can be monetized. YouTube is its own social media platform where users can send messages, leave comments, and interact with others.
Due to increasing censorship, YouTube will not be an option for some of us in the future. This isn’t news to me. I’ve been expecting it. For two years, I’ve been looking for an alternative to hosting my videos on YouTube. When I combine the threat of being de-platformed by Facebook Twitter and YouTube, my primary concerns are finding a place where I can speak freely, where I can connect with like-minded people, and where I can host videos that play properly on this website.
There are many platforms available for video hosting, but they are not created equal. Bitchute is a popular alternative to YouTube, but it can take two or three days for a video to finish processing, and they don’t offer the option to embed videos. (Technically, a Bitchute video can be embedded on a website by using an iframe, but that approach causes viewing problems for some users.)
Vimeo is another alternative, but they joined Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube when Alex Jones was de-platformed a couple of years ago. If they were willing to de-platform him, here’s no guarantee they won’t ban someone like me.
DTube, UGETube, and Brighteon allow videos to be hosted without censorship, and they offer an embed feature. I’ve tried embedding videos from these platforms here. Each time I did, a significant percentage of viewers were unable to play the video due to differences in device operating systems and web browsers. Streaming videos in a way that makes them viewable across all devices and browsers is a tricky proposition that only a few companies have done successfully.
My Wife’s Brainy Idea
Last week, my wife told me about a new social media platform called CloutHub. The company claims to be a politically neutral social media platform. I decided to create an account. What follows is a review of CloutHub’s features after one week of use. I had many questions about the platform’s current state of operation and their future plans, so I contacted CloutHub CEO Jeff Brain, who was happy to answer my questions. (The images displayed in this article were captured from the web-based version of CloutHub, which differs slightly from how they are displayed on the mobile app.)
CloutHub’s Layout
Clouthub is built around the idea of providing hubs for various interests and activities. There are currently “News,” “Public,” and “Group” hubs. A variety of other hubs, including “Civic” and “Private” are in the works. CloutHub gives you the option of following people or adding them as a friend. When deciding to accept or reject a friend request, keep in mind that when the “Private” hub launches, friends will have access to your private hub, while followers will not.
CloutHub sports a three-column layout with a main center column for a newsfeed. Right and left sidebars are home to additional features. The page background is light grey with a charcoal header. Orange is used to highlight key elements. The design is easy on the eyes, which should benefit anyone who is on social media for long periods of time. Posts can be liked, shared, or you can leave a comment. Unlike on Twitter, posts can be edited. Users begin with a 300 character limit, and they can earn more characters by referring others to the platform. A link is provided to receive credit for referrals and a landing page is offered for influencers with large followings.
CloutHub’s many services are accessed through two rows of tabs at the top of the page. In the charcoal-colored header, select the “Public” tab and you’ll be taken to a page with a newsfeed similar to that of Twitter. The header has a search bar and tabs for the “Newsroom,” “Group” and “Channels” sections. The right sidebar shows trending topics. The left sidebar has icons for notifications, messages, friends and followers, trends, donations, and settings.
Still in the header, if you click the “Newsroom” tab, a page will open with a column that displays articles from a variety of media outlets. The left sidebar menu has tabs for news, politics, business, etc. Articles can easily be shared to your newsfeed, in a private message, to a group, or on another platform.
Videos and Groups
Clouthub has features similar to those found on Facebook, including the option to upload videos from your mobile device and the ability to create and moderate groups. To go to the Groups page, click on the “Groups” tab in the header. Any group you are a member of is displayed near the top of the page. Other groups are displayed below.
To create a new group, click the plus sign next to your avatar, give the group a name, choose its privacy setting, then add a header image and avatar if you desire. Groups can be set to open, which allows anyone to see or join them. A second option is to set a group to closed, which allows it to be seen, but admittance is moderated. A third option is to have a secret group, which makes it invisible on the platform. Admission to a secret group is by invitation only.
Private Messaging
Clouthub’s private message system is similar to that of Facebook and Twitter. Messages from friends are displayed in the left tab, while messages from everyone else appear in the right tab. Unread messages in the inbox display a red dot.
Privacy
CloutHub does not collect or sell the personal information of its users. You can create an account with any user name you choose. If you want to remain anonymous, you can create one using a burner phone number and disposable email or you can choose to have your account verified. To have your account verified, upload a photo with your ID. After your account is verified, the file is destroyed. There are no ads on the platform. CloutHub’s business model is similar to that of Gab, where most users join for free, and a handful of influencers pay fees for premium services.
Free Speech Blogging
Today, writers face increasing censorship. Although some of us enjoy the challenges of setting up and maintaining our own websites, it can be tedious, and there are costs involved. That’s why blogging platforms like Medium were created. Medium has chosen to de-platform anyone who writes about Qanon. The creators of CloutHub anticipated the need for a free speech blogging platform, which they plan to roll out soon.
Artificial Intelligence
One feature that deserves mention is CloutHub’s use of Artificial Intelligence. Images and videos posted on the platform are scanned for pornography. In addition, certain words have been blacklisted and can’t be included in a post. Restricted words include racial slurs and sexual terms. If you enter a blacklisted word, the AI will detect it, and you’ll have to choose another word before the post can be published. The use of AI to limit offensive and illegal content makes CloutHub a safe alternative for minors who want to use social media.
Content Channels
CloutHub has many useful features, but I found its content channels particularly intriguing. They offer broadcasters the ability to set up a channel on a dedicated page along with other broadcasters. The content channels are accessed through the “Channels” tab in the header.
On this page, influencers host their videos and podcasts. There is an option for broadcasters to create playlists that appear on separate tabs on their channel page. There is no limit to the number of files or the length of a broadcast that can be uploaded. There is, however, a data limit of 4 gigabytes per file. Since I’ve been looking for an alternative to YouTube, the option for hosting videos on CloutHub seemed promising. I requested to become a channel host, and I was given channel #115. To evaluate their video streaming capabilities, I uploaded a collection of videos.
Video Hosting
I needed to know if videos hosted on Clouthub would have the same problems as videos hosted on other services, so I designed a series of tests. My hope was to publish several videos and have thousands of people watch them without receiving complaints about playability.
I uploaded the first video to CloutHub’s server and embedded it on this website. It’s had more than 2,000 views to date. The only complaints I received were from two people who had their browsers set to “privacy mode.” One person confirmed that they were able to view the video after changing their browser setting. I uploaded a second video that YouTube had removed from my channel and posted a link to it on Twitter and Parler. It’s had more than 7,000 views, and I haven’t received any complaints about playability. I uploaded two more videos and embedded them here. One has had more than 5,000 views. The other has had 3,000. I received two complaints about viewing issues. One individual did not provide information other than to say they could not view the video. A second said he was using the Firefox browser on a Linux operating system.
As consumers of videos, we’ve grown accustomed to having the freedom to use any operating system or browser we choose because YouTube videos can be played on virtually any setup. But YouTube won’t be an option for some of us in the future. I would love to have 100 percent of my audience be able to view my videos, but there is a practical limit to how accommodating a host can be. Some responsibility lies with the viewer. Influencers who are removed from YouTube have no choice but to find another video host. Videos hosted on other platforms have different viewing requirements. Viewers will either adapt to the changing requirements or be relegated to watching only those who remain on YouTube. CloutHub’s video hosting is not as ubiquitous as YouTube’s but it passed my battery of tests. The few complaints I received are acceptable, and they can be remedied by the viewers. Most problems with viewing non-YouTube videos can be eliminated by changing browser settings, using a different browser, updating your device’s operating system, or using a different device.
Live Streaming
For influencers with a content channel, CloutHub offers live streaming. (Live streaming is not currently offered for non-channel hosts.) Setting up a live stream is simple. The backend of the platform has a page for video stream settings. Simply copy and paste the stream URL and stream key into a program like OBS or Wirecast, and begin streaming. I haven’t used OBS in more than a year, but I was able to set up a live stream in just a few minutes. Clouthub automatically displays the stream on your channel, anytime you go live. A live broadcast hosted on Clouthub can be shared on any social media platform. You can check out my 1-minute test live stream here.
Video Sharing and Monetization
CloutHub’s video hosting interface is intuitive and easy to use. Videos can be published on any website, social media platform, or directly to YouTube. Viewers can change the speed of play and the display size. Standard sizes for embedding videos are available along with the option to create custom sizes. Broadcasters can embed a video, a playlist or a channel, with or without the chat. Channel hosts are given the option to create revenue streams. Although there are no ads on the platform, there is an option to run ads on CloutHub hosted videos (including Google ads), and broadcasters can ask viewers for their email address. In the near future, CloutHub will offer the option of a paywall that the channel host will control and provide a service similar to Patreon.
Customer Service
If you’ve ever dealt with YouTube’s customer service, you know it can be a frustrating experience. CloutHub provides a full set of tutorials for video hosting and they offer live customer support for their content channels.
If you’re an influencer and you have questions not addressed in this article or if you want more information about CloutHub’s services, you’re welcome to email through this website or message me on social media and I’ll help you in whatever way I can.
Glitches
Because CloutHub is relatively new, there are occasional glitches when trying to load certain pages. For example, it can take a while for the page to load that shows your followers. This happens primarily when using the web-based interface. The mobile app is more reliable. CloutHub’s CEO advised me that the web-based interface was only released a few weeks ago, and it’s still being fine-tuned.
Summary
Overall, I’m impressed with CloutHub. It doesn’t just offer a free speech platform. It combines the features of Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube all in one place. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of social media. And you don’t need to worry about having your account suspended for expressing the wrong view. The platform hasn’t drawn a lot of attention from big-name celebrities yet, but its services should attract those who oppose censorship.
Getting Personal
From a personal perspective, Clouthub has proven to be an answer to prayer. Because I publish videos about Qanon, my YouTube channel is almost guaranteed to be suspended. I needed a video hosting solution. I’ve tested the feasibility of using CloutHub as my primary video host, and they meet all my requirements. The time to implement a plan to avoid a disaster is before the disaster hits. I uploaded my entire YouTube channel to CloutHub, and I’m switching out all my videos on this website for ones hosted there. I can now sleep a little better, comforted by the knowledge that if YouTube suspends my account, it won’t affect my ability to host videos here.
Large social media platforms are the information battlefields upon which the war over public opinion is waged. I have no plans to voluntarily abandon Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube. I’ve had multiple Facebook pages suspended, and if my current one is removed, I can create another. If my Twitter account is suspended, I can make a new one and reconnect with my tribe, at least temporarily. YouTube presents a different set of problems. It takes a lot of time and effort to upload hundreds of videos and create thumbnails, descriptions, titles, and links. At some point, recreating a suspended account on a hostile platform may not be a wise allocation of time and resources. I still plan to make my videos available on YouTube as long as they’ll have me, but I may not create a new account if my current one is suspended.
It’s About the Relationship
YouTube recruits influencers with the promise of a mutually beneficial relationship. They agree to host and promote your videos. In return, you’re given access to a powerful platform where your message can be heard, and if you’re successful, they offer a financial reward. The offer of a mutually beneficial relationship seems to be true, as long as you refrain from expressing certain views. When you express the wrong view, punitive action is taken to correct your behavior. That kind of relationship isn’t mutually beneficial. When you’re not free to do as you please—when someone threatens you to get you to behave a certain way, the relationship is based on control and abuse. I wouldn’t marry an abusive, controlling woman. Why would I make myself dependent on an abusive social media company?
CloutHub has offered me the mutually beneficial relationship that YouTube wouldn’t. That altered my relationship with YouTube, which I can now treat like any other video hosting service. It’s nice to have access to their platform, but I no longer need them. If they suspend my account, it’s not the end of the world. CloutHub offers influencers the opportunity to divorce themselves from abusive companies that try to censor and control them.

PM, while I vehemently oppose everything you and your followers believe in, I also vehemently oppose any attempt to silence you the way social media has and is attempting to. I’m glad you have found CloutHub who appears to allow everyone a voice. Might I also remind you that the Church throughout history has made attempts at silencing those who disagree or oppose them. In recent times, that suppression has taken the form of laws designed to enforce the Church’s views on morality and ethics. Opponents of such laws are sometimes shouted down or physically attacked by those claiming to represent the Church. The 1rst amendment is a tricky arena. While attempts to silence different groups may appear successful on the surface, those groups just go underground and resurface in another place. Just like you are doing. I believe there should be open dialogue so people can hear both sides and make their own choice. While I disagree with your views, I have the choice of reading / viewing your postings or making another choice. You are not forcing anyone to view your offerings. Best to you.
Thank you, sir. For what it’s worth, my motto is, “If you want to change someone’s mind, love them unconditionally.”
Great motto! “The truth will out”, as they say!
SOUNDS GREAT.
ABSOLUTELY HATE FINGER TYPING ON CELL PHONE
DEPLORE NOT BEING ABLE TO INSTALL THIS ON MY HP DESKTOP. GRRRRR SIGH
They fixed that. I have Clouthub on my laptop, not on a ‘phone!
Thank you for the information. Opening an account today and will be sure to follow you there.
Thanks, Nicole.
I am just wondering why I have to sign up with CloutHub using a phone. I do not have a phone that can do that, is there another way? Ipad?
I believe you can sign up on an iPad. It must be done on a device that uses the mobile app.
Fantastic! A place for Uncle Sam’s favorite Patriots to gather. Thank you Medic for this great tip. Heading there now. WWG1WGA ??
I have a trac phone-can I use that number?
Yes. I have it both on my PC as well as my iPad.
You can use a PC to sign up. The Chrome web browser has a “developer” mode than you can turn on with 2 clicks. It simulates a mobile web browser (The server you connect to will think you’re on a mobile – you will still need a way to verify your #).

Thanks for the tip!
I contacted Clouthub about that, This is what I received: It’s a temporary situation. We are still building our platform and right now we don’t have the ability to have someone sign up on our desktop. But the good news that we will have the ability to sign up on our Desktop version by next Monday. So in a couple of days you will be able to use CloutHub without needing to put an app on your phone.
You should also know however, that Clouthub has the most protective privacy policy. We don’t data-mine our members, don’t get into their phones, we don’t track their behavior or movements, and we don’t even take the IP address you log in from. Plus we don’t sell or share our member data.
I was expecting an article on crafting or something. 🙂 Nice review, thanks for sharing–
Hi Medic,
Thanks so much for putting this together!!! There are literally millions of users of social media platforms that are fed up of the heavy-handed tactics used by the YouTube, Facebook and Twitter’s of the world. By combining video hosting, live streaming along with group and private messaging I believe CloutHub has built a platform that will be a major contender going forward.
I am a life long technology professional who has been following you since the beginning of the QAnon journey. Keep up the great work. #WWG1WGA
Thanks, mate!
Thank you, Dave! Great review and fantastic news that there is finally an alternative to the Big Tech Bother apps. The only problem I’ve encountered so far with CloutHub is that it does not yet have a specialized client for the iPad, what you get is the iPhone app with a tiny screen. I suspect that will change soon.
I’ve been on CloutHub for a bit now thanks to Tracy Beanz. Very good platform. I am getting to the point that I have too many platforms and once Twitter goes full commie, I’ll be on CloutHub solely.
yea I just signed up and it looks good on my SAm phone, I was disapointed there is no DESKtop app other than fooling Chomre, since i LOVE Firefox. I will be getting a new BIG tablet so I will install it there soon.
[PM],
I would not Endorse “CloutHub” – We are in Spiritual Warfare Here and You Know It – Don’t give in to other Social Media Platforms!
Stick with the Plan – Wait – Then Decide what You will do if StuffHappens to You as You already have a Website!
Regards,
Richard
I’ve been on for awhile, but I’m still learning to navigate the app. Thanks for the helpful info. God bless!
Thanks Dave for the great review. I’ll be joining CloutHub today and look you up to follow.
Yes will be signing up as well and passing this info to others who are tired of being censored. Our government in Canada does enough of that..always appreciate your videos and Q threads.
Sorry couldn’t add my name for some reason
So does this mean that I have to join clout Hub to get your future videos? When you post something new at this point, I am informed through my email. Will that still be enough?
Thanks Dave. I tried to join Clouthub but my App Store told me it’s not available in my country ( New Zealand) I emailed clouthub & asked when it would be.
Judi Green
You might consider using a VPN.
Yes, I experienced the same here in Australia – neither the Apple store nor google play store have it.
Dave, I appreciate this so much! I’ve followed you for years and have always especially loved you “process” posts. Thank you!
Thank you, Bonnie!
Great review! Although I’m not an influencer, I’ll be joining CloutHub to give my support. I’ve had too many posts deleted on other media and am sick of it. I hope the handful of QAnons I follow will see your post and join. God bless you for all you do.
I tried to download the app to my Tablet but can’t seem to find the app. I do have an old tablet (Android 4) so that may have something to do with it.
I do not believe the app is compatible with tablets yet.
You have a point. The app does not work so well on my iPad. But if I use the webpage, it works just fine. I only joined over here to find and follow you. Keep up the good work!
I would be worried that if Clouthub became a success the tech giants would just gobble them up. I imagine an offer of billions of dollars would be difficult for this CEO/company to reject ! Hence back to where we began.
…my worry also.
I’m a long time sub and follower on Twitter and YT and happy that I will be able to find you regardless what happens.
My question about CloutHub is I have 2 channels on YT and only post videos on the channel that is not signed into this phone. In other words, I receive a sign in code to this phone for each acct. separately but have not linked the 2 accounts together. How would I sign up for CloutHub using my phone for my 2nd channel that I have only signed into on my laptop?
Hope I explained what I’m asking and I can sign up with the channel I actually post videos on YT with.
I would suggest switching the phone numbers on the accounts.
Thanks a lot for this important evaluation. I consider using clouthub now.
Wow Dave, this is great; I have a friend that I’m going to pass this info. unto; she will love it cause she is looking and a newbie at that!!!!! Thanks!!!! WWG1WGA!!!
Thanx Denise ?❤️??✝️
You did it again !
Yes, she did!
l am not savvy on my ipad device but will figure it out and get on Clouthub. I have been getting your Q interpretations since spring of 2018 and enjoy exposing friends to Q. I would be lost without you.
I’m now a member and following you on Clouthub, Thanks!
Thank you!
I use the social media sites to promote a business that is totally unrelated to any politics or movement BUT I am feeling concerned that dispite all that I could still be banned or removed for not following their narratives in my personal life. Your advice to prepare for those possibilties is smart.
This does sound like a great alternative. Double check that your host actually backs up ALL your site content and do your own full backups on your devices.
Great information Dave and kudos to Denise! The Lord always provides a way to accomplish what He calls us to do. His voice through us will never be silenced. Thank you for all you have done and will in the future. Rivers of blessing to you both.
Thanks for the great info. I am signing up today
Great info, Dave. Thanks. I try to sign up and while I was sent an email link to do so, when I tried to download the app it send not available in my country. I’m in New Zealand. Hoping this is available here in time.
I’m one of the minority of people who refuses to use a mobile phone. I’ve never had one and never will. Even if I wanted to use one, I can’t, because I am hypersensitive to the microwave radiation they emit. For this reason alone, I am unable to join Clouthub. Same goes for Parler. Both companies are too lazy and unconcerned about people like me to create a means for us to participate without the requirement of mobile phone use. I don’t expect any mobile phone user to ever notice or care about this and am unsurprised that you never mention it.
I agree with Pat Davis. I refuse to get a smart phone and the fact that one has to “join” in order to see posts is wrong. I also have refused to open accounts at Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and the like but at least I am able to access PM and others on those platforms because they don’t MAKE me create an account in order to do so! If social media is truly to be free and for the benefit of the people, none of these (including Parler and Clouthub, etc.) should be requiring one to create an account in order to view anything!!!
Dear Pat,
My heart is with you! I used to have violent seizures with EMFs, so I deeply understand.
I’m ok now, due to a genuine miracle, but treat these things with low usage and “phone distancing”. 5 Gs are very worrisome not just for sensitive individuals and wildlife, but for all exposed. May God grant you miracles of healing and protection!

Thanks! I’m a newbie. Just “awakened” (both spiritually & politically) during this plandemic. I’ve been finding hope during all this craziness through your Q decodes. And, every time you sign out with requests for prayer for you, Denise, the President etc. I pray for you all. Blessings!
I have not responded to or commented on any social media platform or any other sites about Q BUT have been following Q via QMAP.pub and various individuals since mid 2018. You are always my “go to” site once Q posts. I am a 75 year old Mom/grandmother/great grandmother and I have always resented anyone telling me what I am to think or believe based on their interpretation or belief. That is why I have been so impressed with Q and the Q followers. There are many varying opinions on issues but the desire of all is to discover truth not be told what truth is. I am often amused at the frustrations of patriots, and I honestly understand those frustrations, with regard to the lack of arrests and long-term sentencing for the obvious crimes that have been committed. BUT my dancing in the street will happen when all the loose ends are tied up, the t’s are crossed, the i’s dotted and there is no possibility of escape for those guilty parties. For that, I can wait.
I have been closely watching the recent developments in our country and the refusal of MSM to even come close to declaring that we need law and order across the land. Seeing so much content removed on all prominent social media platforms with regard to covid and the street thugs has been a real concern for me. Thank you for the above content. Very enlightening. I am older but embrace technology with a passion and make every effort to keep myself informed …So ….thank you for another avenue should the platforms totally succeed in removing all deplorables. Happy to count myself among them… FYI and amusement…I am married to a die hard Dem. If that won’t keep you straight, nothing other than the good Lord can…?. With prayers and blessings to you and yours.. Stay safe!
Oh my gosh, this is an excellent review/tutorial for clouthubWeb. Can’t thank you enough. I found out how to see/read/watch so much more after reading this! Thank you!
Well Dave, you’ve lost me. My cell phone is business related and I can’t use it for something like this. I tried signing up on my ipad, but sadly it is too old to update. I won’t take a photo of my ID. I mean, gee, that negates any privacy at all. So I hate not being able to follow you anymore as I trust you. SO I guess when you leave the platforms you’re on now? I lose.
Clouthub will soon allow registration on the web-based version.
Web-based versopm still requires cell phone number.
Thanks Dave,
I’ve been looking for an alternative to YouTube as I had one of my videos deleted the other day too.
You have saved me a lot of research. Thanks.
Just discovered that clouthub not available here either (Australia).
Very helpful, Dave.
Excellent information as always. Glad Denise found you an additional home! Did have something blocked on Clouthub (https://www.newsweek.com/key-defeating-covid-19-already-exists-we-need-start-using-it-opinion-1519535?fbclid=IwAR10y9GkzAIYA1iqxjZr42Y19nwpivOOZffeedXFRX0uhLNlE3N74IH0iCg) and have been unable to get a response as to why. Was unable to post for a day. However, they seemed to unblock me after I sent the email in asking about it. So grateful you have your own website as clearly owning one is the best defense, but you do need to reach as large an audience as possible. Praying Clouthub turns out to be totally legit as we are in desperate need of social media we can trust!
Sometimes youtube-dl succeeds in downloading a video from the new site and sometimes it fails, trying several times *sometimes* works.
On the topic of de-platforming, I think the social medias are just the start, unfortunately – this is only the first step in a longer process that we have seen play out against others with undesirable political views. There will be pressure on Amazon to no longer stock your books, and with your name being a public commodity, I suspect other institutions like companies with whom you have credit cards might also add you to blacklists. Please prepare or research some alternatives now – they wouldn’t be fighting back if you were simply harmless to their schemes. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Dave and Denise! For those of us who know the nefariousness origins of Facebook, how vulnerable is our content on Clouthub? What precautions do we need to take on this platform? God bless!
Thank you PM for your unfettered courage to not be silenced. We fight the good fight in faith love and hope of these unstable and enduring times, draw us nearer to the LORD Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.
Thanks! I opened an account, as I sure can’t chance missing one of your posts! I’m anxiously awaiting your next book.
Thanks Dave, just installed cloudhub thru your page
Well, I tried to sign up. Says my user name is taken, my phone # is used, but not my email address. So, I will not be able to use this site. No support for this at all.
I was able to get support for the issue – very helpful, kind, and timely. Issue is resolved, and it was a user error, not an issue on the platform itself.
Thanks mate! Great post, detailed and helpful. Will join as soon as it’s available in Oz.
Thank you for the information and all you timely updates.
I am signed on, now to learn to navigate this site.
Thanks for taking the time to create this primer. I’ve been following QAnon for almost 2 years, and in the last 6 months my wife has joined me. We both also enjoy your spiritual posts. I love the “idea” of this new platform… and sure pray that it’s as Jeff Brain has presented.
(Business Hat “ON”)
Since you now have some direct contact with him; have you asked about the possibility of CloutHub creating an “import” tool for Publishers that could interface with YouTube and migrate the videos, along with all of the other pertinent data? I know it would take some work on their part, but he should consider the payoff, if it’s possible. They could turn a mass exodus into “instant growth”.
Blessings!
That’s a great idea. I’ll pass it along.
We will never lose you Dave.. thank you for all you do..
Unfortunately Clouthub will be no different than other social media sites like Parler. If the sm entity has an app on either Apple or Google Play, it must abide by the TOS of each company. This is irrelevant of its own TOS. If Apple calls them up and says remove XYZ for whatever reason or get your app banned from the App Store, the 3rd party social media company will do it. If they don’t, they’ll have the same fate as GAB. This is all sad but true, you can’t avoid censorship in 2020.
why not just GAB?

Hi there – I actually heard of this platform on your Youtube channel that i have been following for a long time and actually did a Patriots Fight Life Group @ church and had the group watch some episodes on Q! I guess my question is I have searched on how to stream live or a recorded video to Cloudhub and or create a channel and cannot seem to find the infor… Do you have any suggestions>?
Hey Kevin. Users can upload prerecorded videos through the app. Livestreaming is reserved for channel hosts. You can apply to become one by contacting the admin through the help page.
After seeing what happened to Parler, do you know where clouthub hosts their servers? It’s not AWS is it?
I do not know who is currently providing their web hosting but I do know they are building their own video hosting service.
