Kinda off topic - I'm not a dev at all, I'm wondering how inefficient it would be for creators to self host their videos? How necessary are the youtube servers?

Other than that I see that the algorithm has some value in showing you things you wouldn't otherwise...but I'm not sure that's actually wanted or needed.
How impossible would it be to have an internet without centralized video hosting?
- porkbeer 3y agoIts about discoverability more than access. Access/hosting is just the expensive part.
