      There are some good youtube mirrors on peertube though and the videos can be downloaded. Also no youtube censorship! I bet you can find some good movies like in the old age of youtube

      No.

      But mainly because content creators are on YouTube to get audience and a small profit. The technology is fine otherwise.

        This is an interesting economics problem. How can a p2p FOSS alternative compete with advertising revenue? The YouTube creators don’t even get most of the money, so it wouldn’t need to be perfect to be better.

          Yeah I think it’s doable since most of the revenues are through sponsorship and you can evaluate the audience with likes and subscriptions
