Not being overrun with guys in sunglasses telling me the Jews and Gays are hiding the flat earth from me would be a good start.

I run a PeerTube instance and the amount of people that try following my instance with exactly THAT type of content is… astonishing. It just seems like no PeerTube instance is properly moderated.

Sadly no video platform will ever stand up to yt without creators. Odysee is the closest and thats only because youtube bans decenting opinion about topics

Youtube has pissed off their users something fierce for the last 5+ years (particularly smaller channels) and im honestly waiting for youtube to do something stupid next that rips apart their company like reddit and Twitter.

The problem is that no one can compete with YouTube. YouTube offers free 8k video hosting for everyone. And you have a relatively small number of ads. It’s basically impossible for any other video hosting service to provide this all for free.

I’d never heard of Odysee before. Ignorance was bliss. 🤦‍♀️ I’ll stick with Nebula, thanks.

I need content and discoverability of content. PeerTube’s not really great in that regard.

If you happen to be on Android you should give NewPipe a try. It is an alternative client for YouTube and PeerTube as well. It supports managing playlists without login, downloads and background playback.

On iOS there’s Yattee and you can use Piped on a browser or as a PWA.

needs to have a way to pay for itself. unlike text and image based systems I’m not sure that can reasonably done with just node ops doing it because they want or need it.

Incentivization structures, neutral (non-biased) public processing systems, and likely distribution of multiple system types (transcoders, processors, storage and edge).

There are some technologies that make this possible but nothing is fully built to purpose here yet.
