@cupcakezealot@vertelleus Didn’t Vuze (aka Azureus) try to build a decentralized streaming service once? I could see how this might work, if built on top of Kademlia and WebSeeds.
It’s too expensive to host videos for free, but paying fractional cents to different providers is difficult and none of us want to deal with the current ad-financed model either.
Anyone hoping there will be a mass exodus from YouTube to other–maybe fediverse YouTube alternatives, reminiscent of the Reddit exodus?
Video hosting is way too expensive and complex to be decentralised.

Yes I hope, but I don’t see it happening. Creators will go where the masses are and where the money is.
Yea, so who’s hosting the videos and providing the bandwidth?
