Google wasn't much help here. (Duh)
I am aware of Vimeo
So far, whenever I ask this question, I get variously relevant and tangential phrases tossed out in spoken conversation; which for me is among the least effective communications media possible.
So perhaps those who actually write code might know enough to tell me how to form a list of relevant video upload sites; i.e., sites like YouTube, but not YouTube.
Or perhaps, just tell me what kind of question(s) to ask Google.

Yes.
Thank you.
Absolutely perfect.

Here's an idea. The next time you get something good back from Google, let us know how you did it. What I mean is, give us the detailed input string. For bonus points include your thoughts on how you generalized this string, what might be a glaring disparity to you between this string and past strings, which seem now to be bogus and a waste of time in their construction, and any perhaps magical thinking, the type of thinking not used normally, which lead you to this epiphany.

Depends what you mean by "relevant". What do you want to achieve? Somewhere to store your videos in the cloud for free? Somewhere to host videos that you explicitly share with a small group of viewers? A way to generate income from your cat? A way to influence large numbers of people to your particular political views? YouTube can be used in all these ways, and many more. It's hard to recommend a solution when we don't know the problem...

When my daughter in law cooks she knows whatever she is cooking is done when the smoke alarm goes off. They keep an extinguisher handy.
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

My wife and I have 2 in the kitchen already. I guess I will put this one in my workshop.
It's better than coal, for sure.

So she doesn't have a kitchen, more of a serious burns unit.

Yeah pretty much.

Here in Norway you are required by law to have a fire extinguisher at every floor of your home. And also a smoke detector on every floor. Of course it doesn't hurt to have two, of both fire extinguishers and smoke detectors.
Not required by law, but strongly recommended: A fire blanket in the kitchen. If your deep frying pan catches fire, you should not point a fire extinguisher at it, but cover it with a fire blanket. It doesn't hurt to have one or two extra, e.g. in the bedroom section: If the clothes of a person catches fire, it is much better handled by wrapping him in a fire blanket than spraying him with the fire extinguisher.
In addition, I have placed quite a few spray bottles, with half a liter to one liter of water, next to the fireplace, the cooking stove, by every bed and other places where there is a risk of fire or burning, and when I go out to some party where they lit an outdoor bonfire. The nozzles make so small droplets that they are surprisingly efficient in fighting back a fire to get yourself in safety, but also to cool down a burn if a kid (or adult!) has come to touch a hot kettle or been careless with open fire. (Note: Do not spray into a deep frying pan!)
Half of my bottles are zero-cost empty spray-on-soap bottles. I wanted some smaller ones that can more easily be handled by small kids, so when I came across half liter models at around three Euro apiece, I found it worth the money.
These bottles have prevented one fire risk in my place: For strange reasons, a floor lamp with an old incandescent bulb had fallen over, onto the bed, burning the bedclothes. The smoke detector went off, I jumped up the stairs, grabbed the spray bottle and stopped the glowing from developing into an open fire. At another case, when I lit the open fireplace, a burning log fell over and hit my hand. Within seconds, I had the burn on my hand cooled down, and within a few hours there was only a slight rash left.
Fire extinguishers are great for serious cases where your house is about to burn down. You must have them as well. If you have to use them, they create a terrible mess (especially the powder type, which is the one commonly recommended for private homes). The spray bottles are primarily for the small "lightweight" cases that you should handle within seconds, and doesn't need the power of a 4 kg fire extinguisher. But because you have them "everywhere", e.g. every family member can have his own by his bedside. they can also be valuable as "personal" tools to protect yourself along your escape path.

Ah, it was the hammer. Too small.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
