Wonder if federated youtube would work where people host their own content or join up to get a server as a group. That way the home videos nobody watches would not take up the space while big shots need to get better servers to support the view counts.
This is what I advocate for. The caveat, but also the reason it will work (accordig to me) is that it’s not monetised.
There would thus also not be very many dopamine videos (or ragebait etc), those are made to make money.
Also, if it isn’t for making money, then the scope is no longer a big problem (you don’t need the “line to go up” and get “more followers”) and distribution becomes much simpler.
I’ll gladly share a bunch of videos to see how it could function, I have a 0.7Gb up but can easily switch to a 10Gb up.
Thoughts?
