Eventually people will get fed up with youtube. Peertube is already beginning to become popular and many youtubers are posting there and odesy. Google has become like most large American companies with a self destructive management layer, eventually that will eat Youtube as well. I'd certainly prefer we get a free/distributed alternative to nationalizing and cementing a terrible monopoly.
- spaceribs 5y agoEven worse for Google, when people get banned off YouTube, they get banned across all of Google's services. Every time you upload what is arbitrarily controversial, that outcome has to be weighed, and if PeerTube provides a viable alternative, why not use it?
- einpoklum 5y agoI tend to agree with your conclusion, but not necessarily with your argument. That is, yes, people might be "fed up with YouTube", but the point is that at any one time there can only be one video platform which hosts most videos... it doesn't really matter whether it's YouTube or NotYouTube by some other corporation; and the amount of material on YouTube is so staggering that I doubt we would see a distributed version of it being comparable any time soon. We don't even have a good distributed search engine (that I know of).
