Everyone pitches in

Aaaaaand that idea is dead in the water.

Something like Youtube requires way more bandwidth, storage and processing power per user than something like reddit. Which is why they're trying to make more money.

Lemmy works because it doesn't take all that much in resources to run an instance, and having single digit percentage of your users chipping in can be enough. A decentralized YouTube would not work quite the same, and you'd have a hard time keeping the creators paid too.

I have servers that are seeding massive torrents 24/7. I have hundreds of terabytes uploaded.

Let me load balance Peertube instances, damnit.

I sense endless buffering... and yet... I want it.

I think you might be underestimating the difficulty in delivering video at the scale of YouTube.

It’s not just the tools you use, it’s the social/economic system those tools create that needs to change. To destroy the current system of profit and exploitation we all need to use different tools. Like crowbars, baseball bats, molotovs… Otherwise the Power and Influence will sell you yet another distraction in form of political discourse or a war somewhere where you choose between imaginary good and evil.
