What are you talking about? I don't think you understood the concept of decentralised torrent-like hosting.
I'm currently talking to a peertube hoster about server costs, which I may be able to justify to host my own videos plus a little extra to pitch in for others who can't justify the expense. Plenty of professional creators could easily justify it as an exit strategy or backup for youtube.
These conversations are happening, just not with you, presumably because you're just being negative about it and not actually doing something, so why would anyone bother to bring it up with you?
Ok, good luck on your project. We'll talk when any given peertube project (based on the donation based funding model alone) reaches break even.
I swear I've reviewed the finances about this a million times over. Funding models in their current form just don't work. Content creators getting free hosting from YouTube with huge audiences are struggling to keep themselves afloat. But whatever, good luck on your project I suppose. We really need YouTube's monopoly to end, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, you'll talk to me after it's a solved problem? Why would I be interested in that? You have no interest in helping solve it now and I see no reason why you'd magically become useful after the fact.
If you can demonstrate that you even understood the concept of decentralised torrent-like hosting then I'll pay attention to whatever else you had to say.
