I thought odysee is a better alternative for youtube and offers much more privacy. But it’s not. So disappointed.

Feeling hard to quit youtube because of other platforms doesn’t have much better or quality contents expecially no instance of peertube is truly usable. 🤥

    No company can afford to host

    If it were decentralized in a way that is utilizing the bandwidth of its users, that is one possible solution I think

      Storage is another issue. Will you store / seed random YT videos on your PC? You need to make sure you have enough copies so things are available and that there is adequate bandwidth so you do not wait multiple minutes for video to start.

      Reliable video sharing sites with tons of content like YT / Vimeo makes sense only being centralized and they must have some kind of monetization like ads or subscriptions.

      It sounds like a good idea but my experience with Peertube has been really bad. Bandwith is a very serious problem, even for small instances. They need to impose severe restrictions on user registration and upload limits and even then I feel like it’s hard to break even.

        Yep I think there is too much content to realistically keep around in a true decentralized fashion when you’re limiting the storage to only the ones who consume your content in the first place.
