>>17-18Yes, that's the Big Issue, right? But do you really want to make positive contributions to projects that are equally abusive as YouTube while not even half as viable? You insist on these YouTube alternatives, but you yourself don't even use them with exclusivity. When push comes to shove, YouTube is the only platform we can agree on. The exception to that would be BitChute, in part because of the license but mostly because of their decentralized model. How many people can garner the same amount of resources Alphabet has? If you try to imitate YouTube, of course you're going to crash and burn. Video streaming is expensive as hell and doesn't make money. Vid.me proved as much. Maybe things would be different with, say, IPFS, since it's designed with persistent p2p storage in mind.
