What are some alternatives to YouTube? That's the fundamental problem, is centralizing everything like this. There should be some decentralized platforms.

  Odysee and Peertube are both decentralized. Still relatively small, but are the biggest I know of

    Odyswe is cryptocurrency garbage. Their “decentralized” system is just videos hosted on OVH.

      What's OVH? Don't they use LBRY? And it's honestly hard to avoid cryptocurrency for a decentralized platform. There needs to be incentive to host

  The trouble is that YouTube is more of a social phenomenon than a technical platform. There's been countless technical recreations of YouTube, but people don't want to be there, they want to be part of the YouTube movement so to speak. They want to be YouTubers, they want to talk to YouTubers, watch YouTubers and so on. No one wants to be a Vimeoer. Videographers want to upload their videos to Vimeo, and it's just as good of a video platform as YouTube (better in some ways). But there's no social movement around it, or many other video platforms, and that's what people actually congregate to.
