I’m sure they are working on a youtube messaging app behind the scenes.

    Video is nearly impossible to host in a sustainable way. The bandwidth usage is among the most expensive things you can host. The only way you’re getting something better than YouTube is if it’s tax funded somehow.

      Public libraries should host the peoples internet. As a service, not to generate tax dollars, not to break even.

      Jumping from platform to platform is just delaying the enshitification.

        Why not? Nationalize it and treat it like the infrastructure it is. Take the ISPs, too, while you’re at it.

      Nebula is very sustainable.

      The 20mbit bandwidth of a 4k video might have been a lot 10 years ago, but it’s child’s play now.

        Nebula works for now because it still has nowhere near the amount of videos being served and uploaded per minute than YouTube. Having to cache videos in servers all around the globe takes up significant cost too.

        I also pay for Nebula.

        I’m fine paying for a service, but I’m not going to pretend that it is a YouTube equivalent.
