I have degoogled but YT is the only thing I’m stuck with. The monopoly is too much to overcome.

If you’re on mobile, check out the Greyjay app. It’s promoted (sponsored?) by Louise Rossman

Apparently there was some fallout with futo and him
Not sure at all about the details, but yeah he definitely backed them. Not sure if he still does though

I think he just left to go work on fulu, no bad blood as far as i’m concerned. Anyways grayjay is pretty good, and when the new newpipe comes out that might be an even better choice maybe (but who knows when that’ll be?? Tell me).

I just quit watching it a few months ago. No big deal, it’s all crap and mindless shit anyways.

If you click on mindless shit, the algorithm serves you mindless shit. I get documentaries. 🤷

I just avoid algorithms. If I want documentaries there are places for those.

you know who else has documentaries?
PBS.
support your local public broadcasting stations, people.

Creating an infrastructure that could potentially ingest terrabytes of data per second, and then processing it into multiple resolutions, is a massive ask.
Especially for a new site that might not ever get picked up by users, much less creators.
I think the only people that have a hope in hell of having a success at starting a youtube competitor are the owners of the big porn sites, since they are in a similar, if much smaller than youtube business with regards to infrastructure demands and processing needs. . So they have the institutional knowledge and infrastructural inertia to get started easier than anyone else on the planet. assuming they want to do a SFW video site, which they may not want to do.

No, it’s not. It’s a massive request. When you punch out and leave the car lot, be sure to use regular English.

It’s a fairly common phrase. Language can change and have regional differences. This isn’t Quebec defending their weird version of French as the only “correct” way to speak.

What’s “regular English”? Only words you personally know? www.oed.com/dictionary/ask_n1?tab=meaning_and_use

Yeah but hosting your self isn’t that big a deal depending on your host. At least until you get into the millions of views.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
We’re talking about youtube competition, self hosting isnt ever going to compete with youtube.

Wasn’t there some professor that started uploading actual educational non-porn lectures on pornhub a while back?
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
I think I know who you are talking about, I recall seeing something about her making more money posting on pornhub than youtube because of greater advertising sharing or something.
