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?

  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.
