There's already Peertube, but anything that hosts media has trouble scaling because of dodgy content more than anything else.
Most Peertube instances are really heavily locked down because of that, Nostr would be poisoned by it too. Even image hosting would be problematic on Nostr, it works because all media is hosted somewhere else.
I forgot peertube, not tried it yet. It feels like a video platform perhaps doesn't need to be 100% like a nostr social app maybe? Is it worth making a 'good enough' platform that would be widely used? I feel like that whoever comes to dominate the YouTube alt world is currently/will be just that. But it could be something that at least points to the wider nostr world. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I really don't know. Just chatting shit on boxing day:)
Sure, what I'm saying is there are good enough decentralized platforms (peertube is really good), but the problem is the illegal content that gets uploaded once they grow.
You get to a point where an admin can't curate everything, people get cute and hide stuff in the middle of innocuous videos, you have copyright claims to worry about, etc. That needs serious tech and centralized management to overcome (e.g. people having the ability to remove content). You have legal reporting implications, etc. It's that bit that sucks, not so much coming up with the platform.
So you'd need a more classical company with deep pockets that tries to take on YouTube by coming up with an alternative site that uses a similar model. I say deep pockets because a video hosting website is about the most taxing thing you can try to run on the Internet if you're serious about it.
Yes I see your point. I must stress I have no idea what I'm talking about. Just musing in my pants:)
So, you're saying we need nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m to buy odysee. Loud and clear 🫡
I feel like rumble/odysee (I have no opinion on peertube, as I'm unfamiliar with it). Are 'good enough', simple enough to use, and reach a wide enough audience for most content creators. Likewise twitter under Elon probably has secured 'good enough' for social/ micro logging. I was listening to a cultural commentator yesterday stream and that does seem to be the case for many. There's a trade off, they need to reach a wide audience for it to be viable/worthwhile. They were streaming on odysee and we're questioning the future of their video content, having been banned off YouTube multiple times. It feels like people are shopping around still for long-term/stable YouTube alt, in a way that they're not (currently) for a twitter alt.
It sounds like a very complicated and costly problem to solve tho.
