I think the best bet at federated video hosting is with something like IPFS or even bittorrent. If every client is also a host, that would greatly reduce the bandwidth needed for any one server.

Get outta here with your actual helpful answer

No, it's when people realized it's a scam

The tech bros had to find an excuse to use all the GPUs they got for crypto after they bled that dry

I've been leaning more and more towards using fdroid just to find apps and then using Obtainium to install them directly from source.

Over time I've curated the list of creators I watch, so my recommendations are pretty good at feeding me what I like, though I do usually have to scroll through a lot of junk. And when the recommendations aren't doing it, I'll just manually go to a channel I like and find something and the algorithm will quickly adjust.

Patreon takes a cut of your money and gives the rest to the creator. Youtube does the same thing with Premium, plus creators receive a higher rpm from Premium viewers than they do from ads. And people left Reddit because they stopped supporting 3rd party apps. Youtube never supported 3rd party apps, plus there's no suitable alternative to leave Youtube for.

Also, I'm not completely fine with Youtube Premium, but the pros outweigh the cons enough for me to justify paying for it.

Do I hate giving money to Google? Yes. Do I watch 6+ hours of Youtube a day? Also yes. I almost always have something playing in the background throughout my day, so it's the one service I'm ok paying for and I don't have to worry about it breaking like I would with other frontends.
