Twitch - Not for general purpose video uploads and sort of stingy with how much you can upload. Twitch only saves highlights and YouTube saves everything you've ever uploaded.

Tiktok - Chinese spyware. Every video is vertical. Every video has stupid songs playing in the background and that TikTok logo. Not really for long form videos or anything serious.

Vimeo - You pay them to upload your video.

...if not in a similar way

Twitch - not different from YouTube since they display ads and they have a premium service. On top of that I can add that without female streamers dressing sexy and not always playing video games Twitch would not have as high revenue.

Tiktok. - still shows ads so they are not financing things in a different way.

Vimeo - yes, they finance their services in a different way. But it still doesn't answer how their content creators make money since Vimeo charge the content creators and doesn't allow ads. But seriously, Vimeo isn't a competitor to YouTube. I have a hard time imagining how they would grow to even a third of the size of YouTube.
