  This is what I meant by the “non shortened” ones. If you’re using it through the app you can only press share to get the link and that’s how it comes when you press share. (Or if you press share on the website instead of copying the URL from the address bar.)

  Even better: PeerTube or InternetArchive or (Web)Torrents but definitely not a Google website fueled by surveillance capitalism.

    For a viewer: serious lack of content For a creator: extremely unlikely to make a living

      Be the change you want to see. Here is my instance video.benetou.fr even if nobody cares, I tried.

        Saying “be the change you want to see” doesn’t resolve any of the raised concerns.

    Call me back when the experience as a content creator is not a nightmare, the experience as a user browsing for content is not a nightmare, when it can handle the load of an even moderately popular video.

    The issue with streaming video online is not a technical one; making a “clone” of youtube, anyone can do so (and indeed, peertube exists). The issue with streaming video online is that if it gets traction, you need a lot of bandwidth and processing power to make it available when it needs to be available. One-two instances and “hopping P2P picks up” does not cut it.

    And, as usual when anyone says anything bad about peertube: the idea is great, but almost by construction it lacks whats needed to be a valid replacement for centralized, yet HUGE existing platforms: traction, and a truckload of CDN-like instances that can handle the load. If someone putting highly anticipated content online could just “put” their video somewhere and send a link so people can watch it, immediately, and without issue, some would likely do so. Unfortunately, we’re very far from that yet.

      I did some live streams in the past. I share the link to my instance below. I can’t speak for large audiences.
