    It has been THE viteo platform for literally decades. There is so much content there; it would be a tremendous effort to direct that elsewhere.

    And that other site would quickly succumb to storage and bandwidth costs. What options could exist?

      The only option left would be PeerTube if it federated with every other PeerTube instance by default, like Lemmy

        Wishfull thinking. Sadly the truth.
        It’s nearly impossible to have that high of a federation and preventing a centralization to not loose any videos (except if the creators chose so).

      Nebula is interesting. You pay for a subscription, which funds creators and platform costs.

          Yup, but no Google tracking, but they seem to do other tracking.

        Sounds like a survivable approach. Except: has anyone heard of it? I hadn’t.

          It’s owned and populated by history and science/engineering YouTubers, so if you’re not usually watching that side of YouTube, you might not find much on Nebula for you.

            On the flipside, that’s most of what I watch, so I hear about it all the time.

          The youtubers that are on nebula place ads of it on almost every one of their videos.

          If you haven’t heard about nebula it’s because:

          • You don’t follow any nebula creators.
          • You use sponsor block.
