In 2015, a video platform named "ClipBits" was created by apparently the same people who later launched "VidBit", "VidLii", and "Vlare.TV" (some sources claim "ClipBits" was renamed to "VidBit"). However, from "ClipBits", there are just three surviving screenshots, the latest from a tweet dated 2015-08-23 from VidLii's Twitter account (hot link, archive 1, archive 2, short URL, Imgur mirror), which presumably had a different name back then. It resembles YouTube's 2006 layout, though with changed colour scheme. The other two are in this Imgur gallery.
According to the "about" page of Vlare.TV, ClipBits was lost to a hard disk failure. Some interesting-looking videos listed in this screenshot like "Super Mario 64 Die Computerwelt", which translates into "Super Mario 64 – the computer world", uploaded by a user named "Darknova009", appear to exist nowhere else.
"This, kids, is why one does not rely on only one platform."
