Do you really think that this is going to be even remotely feasible for 99.999% of the population? I'm a computer scientist and I wouldn't know where to start. Sure, it's easier than "build your own YouTube", but that's not much of a comparison.
Besides, surely the host would be incentivised if not obligated to provide recommendation features of their own?
- jedieaston 7y agoI’m not saying that 99.99999% of people would be able to do that. However, trusting that you could (or at least could pay someone to do it) if needed because the current recommendation engine was evil is important, so we don’t have a YouTube situation like now.
- icebraining 7y agoYou can already build an index site of YouTube videos. That doesn't solve the problem, which is that you have one main indexer that almost everyone uses, and that would remain even if YouTube somehow started hosting the bits on a third-party hosting service.
