And maybe you would understand why that statement makes absolutely no sense if you read the headline of this thread.
It doesn't say "take control away from Youtube and Google", it says take back control of your videos. p2p is the ultimate destruction of control, that's the entire point of it. Saying that peertube gives you control is like saying that playing a slot machine gives you ROI.
- infogulch 5y agoYou're deconstructing a head of lettuce and wondering why you get word salad. Language isn't that simple. Insisting on narrow interpretations of individual words isn't helpful. You need more context to understand it, not less. With p2p, control is transferred away from Google to you and anyone else that chooses to host it. This is reasonable justification for using "take back control" to me. I guess you'd also object to GPL being described as "more free" than MIT.

- infogulch 5y agoThanks! I came up with it on the spot, maybe because I had recently eaten a salad. :) It could be better, let me know if you improve it.
