Alright, so what are the next steps? The issue with YouTube is that video streaming requires a lot of resources to be scaled, we can't really replace it with open source alternatives
Are you familiar with peertube? I'm not suggesting it's going to replace YouTube but it's kind of neat that there's at least one open source platform that you can self host video on. But I agree, the scale issue is huge. All I can foresee is a world where we have a lot of different little sites. Not sure if that's better but YouTube has a total stranglehold.
I know Peertube, but I don't see any Peertube instance able to handle the load of even a fraction of YouTube viewers
Oh sure, I agree with you there. For video I don't see how you can get away from a deeply capital-influenced project because it still requires such tremendous resource scaling.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
