minus-squareEch@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoWhelp, 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-squareIlovethebomb@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoThat will simply never happen, YouTube I think is a two digit percentage of global Internet traffic.
minus-squareEch@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoI doubt Vimeo was putting up numbers that actually competed, either, but it was there as an alternative.
minus-squarefelixwhynot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoI 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-squareanomnom@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoPatreon seems like the most likely competitor. I think some content is now hosted directly there.
minus-squaredindonmasker@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoFloatplane too i guess.
minus-squaregreybeard@feddit.onlinelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoI 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-up0·5 months agoAh shit, I hadn’t thought of that. Hopefully this gives them a kick to upgrade their system or get something of their own.
minus-squarewewbull@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoNeed to solve the discover-ability of it though. Peertube is only useful if you know what you’re going there for.
