Self-Hosting and Media Servers are Big Tech's Next Target

YouTube is actively silencing legitimate self-hosting content. They don't want you to own your data?

The problem with replacing YT is different than with replacing let's say Twitter. Twitter's strength is its large userbase and that's it. Meanwhile YT's strengths are: large userbase, plethora of existing content, and great monetization opportunities. It's hard to even challenge that without being a company. I think the best solution would be to set up something like Mozilla - a nonprofit that owns a company.

Sure, people could move away to more liberal/open platforms like PeerTube, but the audience there is too fragmented and small to sustain creators financially. Things just aren’t quite there yet


And why are people on YouTube? Because that’s where the content is. Viewers won’t move away until after content creators do. You are the people with the power to do this.
