Yeah, if it wants to actually compete with YouTube it would have to have monetization. I've talked about that on Lemmy before, I agree.

But at least with a good algorithm it could be like old youtube where folks can speak to the world and share things in video format

    The issue with "Algorithms" is that you need a lot of data to generate recommendations... which tends to mean centralized (or a LOT of data scraping).

    Which is why stuff like Nebula and Floatplane and Ian McCollum's latest "apolitical" side hustle all are still 100% dependent on Youtube. Hell... I actually still subscribe to Legal Eagle and NileRed on Youtube so that I know when they have a new Nebula video.

    And just to be clear: None of the above (including Peertube in general) is competing with Youtube. Well, Floatplane says it is but that is because linus sebastien is a dipshit con man. But it still speaks to the fundamental issue of where Content comes from and what it takes to have the time and resources to do a "good" video.
