A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Pornhub could start Videohub tomorrow and shake things up if they really wanted to.
Otherwise there's Odysee (bad name, linked to crypto but good interface) and Peertube (federated but searches aren't* so it will never catch on), but people aren't too fond of those.
* I know about Sepia Search. People shouldn't have to use yet another website to find the videos they want on Peertube. It's stupid.
Pornhub could do that, but there's a reason they haven't. Video delivery is insanely complex and expensive and consumer tolerance for advertising on those platforms is low. With no other way to sustain and income from it the only option will be loads of smaller sites or a paid site.
