  Mass video hosting is just so incredibly expensive, especially something in the scale of the types of CDNs services like YouTube use

    I am working on a solution built off of Lemmy that I hope combats the primary issue of cost/delivery for server managers in a partially automated fashion.

      There are already distributed video hosting solutions. They all the same three problems:

      1. CSAM. Lemmy admins are already having to deal with assholes who upload child porn and then the federated instances who are less vigilant
      2. Discoverability: If we start having curated lists of what content people are willing to host then you will never see any new creators who didn’t get big elsewhere
      3. Monetization: This goes without elaboration

      So the end result is what we already see a lot of lemmy boards as. Just shamelessly copying anything popular off of reddit or hackernews.

      That is the issue with video hosting. You basically need an entire cloud compute business to even attempt to justify the costs.

        Yes - you cannot allow (a) free users (b) who can upload content randomly, lest you have the above problems.

        You 100% cannot mimic YouTube outright in the fediverse. But you can definitely make federated video 100x better if this isn’t the objective.
