My thinking exactly... but it's a vicious cycle.... As long as YT is the biggest source, people will flock to it to search there first... A proposed solution is: What if everyone, or at least a bunch of willing souls, ran the following script on their on pc's: 1. YouTube-dlc every video you ever watch automatically in the background and save to NEW_VID directory 2. make a checksum of every file that comes into NEW_VID 3. Check by using the checksum if the file already exists on open platforms like https://joinpeertube.org https://joinpeertube.org, https://odysee.com https://odysee.com or https://d.tube https://d.tube 4. If not, upload the file. 5. Delete the file.
