There are a lot of people crying about being banned from YouTube for political reasons. Why hasn't anyone solved the video platform problem? We had the technology to do it since the 2000s.

bittorent + video streaming over bittorent

For neckbeards there is RSS. For people who leaned what computer programming is, there are some bittorent extensions for mutable torrents, RSS on bittorent, and signed torrents.

All you have to do is make an LLM build a tard friendly video streaming app that subs to some torrents feeds, and like a miracle, youtube is obsolete.

What is the problem? Is it the google shekels? Is it the "algorithmic reach"? People using phones instead of computers? Even normies use jellyfin or plex now. What is the problem? It takes too much space? You only need one seeder with an external hard drive to solve that problem.

"muh bandwidth" The whole point of bittorrent is to spread out bandwidth. This is a solved problem. If you are watching video as a hobby you don't care about bandwidth anyway.

"muh ip" who cares. You can use VPN or something.

"bad performance" Maybe so but consider lichess vs chess.com. There is a big penalty for shitware platforms full of adware and tracking scripts. Just by being an honest and clean software there is a performance boost compared to google satanware, no matter how expensive their CDNs are.

If the video creator is publishing on bittorrent via this streaming app himself, all of the legal problems of bittorrent go away. it's SELF PUBLISHING. So why didn't people do this yet?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PeerTube
>PeerTube is a free and open-source, decentralized, ActivityPub federated video platform. It can use peer-to-peer technology to reduce load on individual servers when videos get popular. 
>Started in 2017 by a programmer known as Chocobozzz, development of PeerTube is now supported by the French non-profit Framasoft.[4] The aim is to provide an alternative to centralized platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion. 
>As an ActivityPub platform, PeerTube is part of the federated network known as the Fediverse. 
>Each PeerTube instance provides a website to browse and watch videos, and is by default independent from others in terms of appearance, features and rules. 
>Several instances, with common rules (e.g. allowing for similar content, requiring registration) can form federations, where they follow each other's videos, even though every video is stored only by the instance that published it.
There's already an off-the-shelf solution, the problem is that you'd have convince the teeming masses of normalfags to use it.
