    Wait that means YouTube might be dying? Im actually mildly happy with that, maybe it ruins their Monopoly and opens the web for smaller niche platforms (not sure how they would survive AI but if they don’t reward low effort high freq it might be something?)

      For it to die there has to be an alternative for the content. I don’t see anything that could replace it at the moment.

          I tried to upload a video to a Peertube instance once.
          Took me a solid hour to figure out how to do that.
          The link to it 404d the next day.

          Peertube still needs improvements to start looking attractive.

          While it is technically federated, using it still feels like it’s just a bunch of small disjointed sites.

            That’s fair. I just hope mentioning and drawing more people to the platform helps (or provides incentive) for it to improve.and become a viable YouTube replacement. Or at least a supplement to something better than YouTube.

        Rumble is getting there. If it can drop all the right wing bs it would be a decent platform. The gaming section is decent though
