As YouTube stops allowing ad blockers, I feel like an open source, Torrent-based YouTube alternative would be nice. Maybe then even allowing a bit of pirating!? Treating sharing video media as a common good not something anyone should be able to monopolize.
It's not really a monopoly with Vimeo, PeerTube, Twitch, TikTok, and more around... they have just built a superior product for most people.<p>Something like what you want will never supplant YT because people want to make money producing content. We get better content because people can spend more time/money to produce it. If you are blocking ads, are you supporting the creators some other way?<p>> Maybe then even allowing a bit of pirating!? Treating sharing video media as a common good not something anyone should be able to monopolize.<p>This is an amusing take, considering how many people want to forbid the AI companies from training on the same content.
