oh interesting, I doubt most youtubers know about it though, it should be promoted as much as peertube itself imo

storage issues are very real, if op wants to do this they really need to do it on their own instance

two worst ideas in the universe combined into one, maybe add some ‘cloud’ or ‘blockchain’ to make it even worse

I don’t think most big YouTubers care much about YouTube ad revenue these days, they make so much more money from audience manipulation (e.g. sponsor spots) so the current peertube system would be fine.

I honestly think the biggest current issues are that it costs a lot of money to host peertube because of the high resource requirements (storage costs are compounding as well) and that the network effect means that very few people will use it

it’s probably that they’re not willing to put in the effort to republish every video on peertube when the status quo works fine, or that they don’t know about peertube’s existence.

Louis Rossmann for example definitely cares about FOSS/Free ecosystems is a giant proponent of ad blockers, but doesn’t post on peertube.

applying the Facebook ai training approach to the fediverse I see, I’m 100% sure this won’t villainise the fediverse at all!

there was that one video about covid and 5g where he went crazy, seems like he’s learnt to mask his views since then
