I understand your sentiment. I wonder, if one were to "recruit" a lot of popular youtubers to stream in a decentralized fediverse manner by offering to make a simple hardware solution for them, would it encourage others to follow? How much of an investment would that be? Presumably you could keep the hardware "product" going and if more catch on they could also be directed towards your solution as helping them get in (quicker to market) as the network effect grows.
One would need to address the way people could monetize themselves aside from getting direct viewer support via subscriptions or donations.
No, you didn't understand my sentiment :).
I'm angry not about YouTube per se, but about the video format. We're Linux users, we can read. Text is superior in most cases except for porno and some other cases including a big percentage of manual work.
You could find an article and post it?
Unless you start paying them at the same level YouTube is no. The problem with peertube adoption by big creators is almost entirely monitary because if they were able to make money with it they would solve the other problems that come from it.
