minus-squaremissingno@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoYoutube is far too expensive for anyone to try and run a competitor to. I don’t think we’ll ever see a replacement. Google is still losing money on it, and might never make it profitable. There’s a real risk that Youtube just dies on its own and nothing replaces it.
minus-squareI_Miss_Daniel@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThere were some blockchain based distributed video hosting experiments happening a year or so ago. Can’t remember the name of them at the moment. Might have been all hype no substance; but bittorrent still works, so maybe it’s doable. Edit: https://blockonomi.com/youtube-alternative/
