Ask HN: Will there ever be fully decentralised YouTube?
I know there are DTube and Lbry.
but those are neither fully decentralized nor provide enough performance.
- d--b 7y agoPopcorntime in a way was a decentralized video service. Performance would degrade for less popular videos.
- meditations 7y agoIt can be solved. For example: assign peers for videos with lower number of peers instead of assigning peers for currently watching video. Please correct me, if I’m wrong.
- beatgammit 7y agoWell, there's PeerTube, which is federated. I guess it's not decentralized, but there's no single central server, so it probably meets your requirements.
- connorcodes 7y agoPeerTube is also special because it uses the activityPub format, so anyone on Mastodon or GNUsocial can follow somebody on PeerTube.
