    Why build one competitor to YouTube when we could build a billion of them?

    Because thats the very reason why people hate current streaming services, and you’re arguing to not only make it worse than that, but to make the end users eat the costs of storage and bandwidth.

      You don’t understand why people hate streaming fragmentation.

      You can have a billion decentralized openyoutube all on the same page, just look how lemmy already does it.

      Podcast also did it with RSS. Agglomeration isn’t an issue on a decentralized open platform

      If they shared the same protocol, or at least reasonably compatible versions of it, you could have one app that does all of them.
