I thought odysee is a better alternative for youtube and offers much more privacy. But it’s not. So disappointed.
Feeling hard to quit youtube because of other platforms doesn’t have much better or quality contents expecially no instance of peertube is truly usable. 🤥
Video platform is the next thing to be federated.
I don’t like YouTube moderation and the host should be federated, the way it is now YouTube owns the public data.
Very unlikely to happen, it’s way too expensive or demanding to run at a significant scale and it would probably end up with a single monolithic instance
You are wrong, you can have big instance and still federated. If the site is corrupted, the users can leave right away.
How do you want to federate Petabytes or even Exabytes of content? And your second sentence leads to a monolithic instance.
Unless you have special affection to YouTube moderation, this has to be done even if you want to believe it is hard, but that being hard is completely untrue.
Federated =/= unstructured p2p network
A host can be a big instance in fediverse, the others can host another instance, can visit the big instance if it has the bandwidth, but not necessarily host the data (which is the case for unstructured p2p network, where everyone does the same task). As long as it is free software, both the host and user skip the hassle of adopting different interfaces.
Just use torrents. You can set up torrents to subscribe and automatically download new episodes of shows and watch them on a client on your TV or phone. You can stream a torrent as well. I’m sure there’s a way to make a YouTube like experience.
Yeah I guess torrents would be the closest thing to federated video, but seeing the download speed of most torrents that I find even ones with many seeds, it is often balls slow
