      Youtube is much harder to migrate from. It has a loooot of data. Where else can I upgrade 60 minutes of 4k gopro footage for free?

        yeah, i agree, even with alternatives like peertube but since hosting of video data is more expensive it might take longer for reliable instances to appear, but … the unfriendlier the youtube enviroment becomes, the more likely it will be that people will look for and create alternatives. Guess that at least means there is some hope for the future, even if that might be farther away.

          Well, I like the idea of Peertube, but they need to find a way for the content creators to monetize, otherwise they will not leave YouTube.
