How likely/possible/doable would it be to make a successful YouTube alt (rumble, Bitchute, odysee, dlive etc etc) on nostr?

#asknostr

Is this flare? I've seen a handful of technical criticisms of flare already, I'm not smart enough to understand. (But some obvious hurdles would be the need to purchase space in s@ts, probably needs to tone down the b!tcoin magazine-ish front page). Blah blah blah.

But as a market, the YouTube alt world seems like a good place to take a stand, what with rumble apparently being censored in some countries, odysee possibly shutting down -ish, Bitchute possibly censoring etc...

I have nothing to contribute except an ignorant hope lolol.

I really think the hosting cannot be centralised. If its centralised, its a honeypot for the censorious, the avaricious and the stalker-y, henceforth referred to as government.

I love Bittorrent, but I am yet to see a good integration with the HTML world.

https://ipfs.io is a newer protocol that integrates better, and clients are available for every major platform. Its still a bit slow out of the gate for high-def long-form video, but the more people who watch (and cache) an IPFS-hosted video the faster it gets!

Knowledge Standards Foundation is working on making encyclopedic content available via BitTorrent in the webbrowser. Torrents/video content should be possible as well. As always, the worst problem would seem to be spanmers/bad actors.
