minus-squareEch@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up97arrow-down1·4 个月前Whelp, hopefully federated video sharing gets the momentum it needs to compete with YT. Seems like it’s the only alternative that’ll be left.
minus-squarefelixwhynot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up31·4 个月前I have seen a few smaller ones pop up too (admittedly not open source) like Nebula. I could see the appeal of a professional hosting service for creators
minus-squaregreybeard@feddit.onlinelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·4 个月前I don’t know about Floatplane or Nebula, but Dropout uses Vimeo as their back end. So this could impact some of the independent guys.
minus-squareEch@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 个月前Ah shit, I hadn’t thought of that. Hopefully this gives them a kick to upgrade their system or get something of their own.
minus-squareanomnom@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down2·4 个月前Patreon seems like the most likely competitor. I think some content is now hosted directly there.

minus-squareEch@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·4 个月前I doubt Vimeo was putting up numbers that actually competed, either, but it was there as an alternative.

Floatplane too i guess.
