We need to slowdown YouTube and get an alternative that is viable for people and creators. The problem in this case is creators and brands, almost no creators would continue doing videos if there's no money at the end

The problem with money being involved is it's an invitation to spam crap everywhere.

One of my relatives has recently taken up "AI travel videos" and "AI cute videos" as a "hobby". No doubt based on the first thing that came up when I searched for those things, a video titled "make $10,000 a month spamming up YouTube with your AI slop".

Oh, and it needs you to buy the AI slop generating tools that they happen to sell. How convenient!

I mean, this also happened with broadcast TV, where we suddenly went from like 4 channels filled with programs and things competing for space, to 200 channels, where the rush was on to fill the gaps between the adverts as cheaply as possible with reality show tat. And that's all YouTube is now.

The other problem is storage and bandwidth.

The solution is decentralization of the web

So now the problem is sharing your IP with every member of the P2P swarm.

[-] foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

Not really because sharing an IP is nothing that important

Not if it used Veiled

[-] Teils13@lemmy.eco.br 10 points 1 month ago

There is the PeerTube network, which works like Lemmy.

[-] foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

This is one the best YouTube alternative but needs to be adopt massively

[-] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 9 points 1 month ago

Start using it and ask content creators to also put their content on there.

[-] sentientity@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

It's subscription based, but Nebula is creator owned I believe. Sucks though that everything free gets acquired by some extractive company.

We probably need to have some kind of business that links up people looking for ads with in video monetization. Of course sponsor block Will negate that to some decent extent.

VK Video is indeed probably close to it, being a quasi state company. Theoretically they can not maximize profit extraction in all spaces, and keep the videos without unlimited propaganda. But Rutube is a profit-seeking company that is just smaller scale youtube. Let's see how the 1st will evolve over time.
