Instagram, Vimeo, Facebook are your next best options. Youtube is the best platform out there, but only because they run tests & experiments to improve continuously.

Vimeo closed down, facebook has privacy issues, instagram isnt a VOD service. The closest to YT is Twitch, which still doesnt have a usable archive function. There ARE no alternatives to YT ATM.
