So more random bullshit YouTube censorship, but what are people going to do? Hosting videos in 2019 is easy. Getting your content discovered is the hard bit.

We need a decentralised and/or federated alternative for video-content publishing. The sooner, the better.
YouTube has been taken over by big business and lawyers, and it seems they are gradually trying to “dumb” it down and take away any risky (read: useful/interesting) content to the point it might as well be cable tv.
We could use a viable, alternate and free platform this very instant.
- manjana 7y agoVisit: https://d.tube/ https://d.tube/ and spread the word please, it's current content is crap. It even awards crypto to uploaders.
- swiley 7y agoDoes anyone know what the ligality of uploading MIT's OCW lecture videos here would be? Personally that's what got me into watching youtube in the first place. Also: does that really need javascript? (I'm guessing you're doing something with IPFS?) is there any way to brows it with some command line tool if it does?
- manjana 7y agoI'm only partially familiar with the platform and have no aurhorship so I don't know unfortunately.

I don't see how that second phrase follows from the first. Your comment has a strong point about the need to break Google down, but not on making it easier to host videos.
