How I wish peertube could become a good alternative for youtube but idk how that would ever be possible, with all the storage of big video files, maybe with torrents? idk
That's already how it works.
There are so many people who worry about Peertube's viability because of bandwidth costs -- or straight-up claim it's impossible -- because they don't realize it's already a solved problem.
and youtubers want to be paid.
And with good reason, given that high quality content is expensive. Even for a channel that is purely something as simple as video essays, if you're doing a good job, its going to take hundreds of hours of research and writing, nonetheless something more demanding.
Oh I fully agree. But I don't agree with youtubers that don't want to move to peertube as YouTube has this monetisation built in, and they would need to set it up themselves (strangely brand deals are no biggy?) Seems lazy.
