CLUSTER VIDEO-SHARING-BROWSE · 55 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-05-02
Video sharing platforms
This cluster consists of video platforms for uploading, browsing, watching, and sharing user-generated content, often with social features (comments, subscriptions, playlists), creator dashboards, or decentralized/P2P variants. Dated history is thin, with only 13 entries before the index start (1 in Sep 2012, 1 in Apr 2018, 1 in May 2022, and the rest from 2023–2026), so no clear timeline shape can be inferred. Traction leader is drivetube (130 stars), followed by videoplatform and Momo-Social (1 star each).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
