    I need content and discoverability of content. PeerTube’s not really great in that regard.

    Sadly no video platform will ever stand up to yt without creators. Odysee is the closest and thats only because youtube bans decenting opinion about topics

      Youtube has pissed off their users something fierce for the last 5+ years (particularly smaller channels) and im honestly waiting for youtube to do something stupid next that rips apart their company like reddit and Twitter.

        The problem is that no one can compete with YouTube. YouTube offers free 8k video hosting for everyone. And you have a relatively small number of ads. It’s basically impossible for any other video hosting service to provide this all for free.

    Not being overrun with guys in sunglasses telling me the Jews and Gays are hiding the flat earth from me would be a good start.

    If you happen to be on Android you should give NewPipe a try. It is an alternative client for YouTube and PeerTube as well. It supports managing playlists without login, downloads and background playback.

    needs to have a way to pay for itself. unlike text and image based systems I’m not sure that can reasonably done with just node ops doing it because they want or need it.

    Incentivization structures, neutral (non-biased) public processing systems, and likely distribution of multiple system types (transcoders, processors, storage and edge).

    There are some technologies that make this possible but nothing is fully built to purpose here yet.

    its a bit off feeling(i cant place why) Probably because the web frontend is trash, but that’s tautologous. Install something like peertube-viewer-rs or one of the 50 android apps for it and ignore javashit. The real problem with peertube is the server side, it’s by far the most frustrating thing I maintain. Granted a decent portion of that is that it uses postgres, and postgres is an absolute clusterfuck of a thing to maintain. But peertube also fucks up its own permissions constantly, so that you can’t actually play videos… I put a script that runs daily to fix it, and it seems to have worked well enough.

    I NEED to be able to play audio on a Mobile device when the screen is turned off Literally any non-retarded media player can do that. Of course, most media players expect the file to be read from local storage instead of remote. This is trivially arranged.

    Honestly any fedi thing that supports videos is sufficient in general. Just post whatever random stuff you make on pleroma or lemmy or whatever.

      Oh definitely, just need a site that collects different video communities from the fediverse and throws them infront of an audience, if there was a special site that helped creators get set up it would go faster too

        I think the big challenge is the recommendation engine. If a service ever got popular enough to have a large set of videos there would be a need to discover them.

    I’d probably post quite a bit of content (music, etc) on a youtube alternative if I could expect it to not be copyright-striked.

      You would absolutely get DMCA takedowns. YouTube’s system is designed to allow copyrighted content without getting it completely removed.
