    Give an inch, they take a mile

    Instead of trying to make money, they should be looking at how to operate without it

    Peertube is an example of figuring this out

      How to operate without money? Hosting countless hours of high-quality video on demand and streaming it to your computer at highspeed? Are you high?

      I had never heard of Peertube before your comment and it sounds great! It also puts a lot on the content creator, though, and regardless of whether Youtube should follow that model or not how would you expect them to make that change? Just suddenly tell every creator that they must start self-hosting? Genius, that’ll go over so well!

      Peertube themselves are saying that they don’t want to replace Youtube, simply to offer alternatives and choice(which I’m cool with).
