I will never pay the richest company in the world to watch YouTube. Then I just don’t watch and instead contribute to something new that is distributed and federated.
It’s a lot harder to federate a YouTube competitor because storing all that video costs a lot more than text and links.
I wish they’d just insert the adverts into the videos so we could fast forward them if we wish. Why do we have to be locked into watching the same handful of adverts over and over.
They used to let us skip after 2 seconds and then it went from one advert to two. Now it’s two unskippable adverts. No wonder people want to block them.

Imagine thousands of instances, paid for by individuals. It’s not expensive to rent a server with maybe 50 GB of space for less than 10 dollars.
So 50 GB times 1000 = 50 TB of data. Of course not YouTube level but that’s just 1000 people too.
What if 100.000 people paid that much?
I think federated is the future.
