I'm not a technical guy In any sense when it comes to this kind of stuff.

But it seems to me any alternative has to simply be used in order to replace youtubes dominance.

But then do we really want or need too ??

What follows assumes the Royal too speak.

On content I always advise posting the content we want to see, if we're into a subject others will be and they will use that platform to view it. Some platforms will always be niche depending on which community is the early adopter. But diversifying content will help people adopt it.

The UI experience has to showcase that content and be easy to use.

Personally I think odysee is the best fit for nostr if we can get a campaign going to convince them to swapped LBC for satoshis. And allow NPUB sign in and relay connection for access.

Hosting and server space is always going to be an issue. Bitchute at least is attempting to solve that problem.

Everything else is cultural. If socially we are moving to a more decentralised tech/finance way of living with more self-reliance permaculture types then the social places those people interact on will survive.

So ultimately I think the solution is a cultural one rather than a tech one.

I don't know if that helps, I'm just babbling through a meat haze 🤣
