I think that peertube will be another good option. You can self host it and there are also many available public instances of it. This is particularly useful if your userbase is very large because it uses Bittorrent(webtorrent) p2p to reduce load on servers and it increases availability of content if viewerbase is huge.
- INTPenis 6y agoI strongly believe in Peertube for media creators who want to take control back from Youtube. Regarding the seeding I was thinking that you could put a few dollars into seed boxes to bolster some older or rarely watched videos.
- anaganisk 6y agoAn avg video creator wants the money, not control. Its the reason why youtube is so hot right now. Avg user just doesn't care.
- INTPenis 6y agoWell you can't be average to run a good peertube instance. I was thinking more of people like Joe Rogan and Linus Tech Tips. People who've built a company around their content creation hobby and are capable of paying for ops and potentially seed boxes if needed. It wouldn't be hard to host, but you'd have to be confident in your service provider or consultant. Of course I doubt Linus would ever be censored by Youtube, he was just an example.
