  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.

        Well, you made a wrong claim that I merely corrected. Watch whatever wherever you want. Doesn’t change the fact that the documentary creators I follow for the vast majority only upload to YouTube and those that also upload to Nebula offer a worse experience there.

      you know who else has documentaries?

      PBS.

      support your local public broadcasting stations, people.

        PBS.

        support your local public broadcasting stations, people.

        And do you know which documentaries they don’t have? The ones that are uploaded by their creators only to YouTube.

        I watch plenty of Arte and I pay the fee but documentaries about video game speedruns etc. simply aren’t on Arte (or PBS or Nebula). I watch those where they are: YouTube.

        Or turn on adblockers and support the people you watch directly (donate, patreon, merch, etc). It takes like $2/yr to replace the ad revenue that you would’ve generated for them (something like that).

        Or use the alt platforms that creators create themselves when possible.

        You can’t escape youtube right now (as in there is no real alternative if you stop using it all together), but you can turn on adblockers (ublock), use 3rd party clients and give something directly to creators you watch a lot.

        And you can support PBS in addition if you want.

  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.

    is a massive ask.

    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.

    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.

      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?

    source

    • A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨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.
