With youtube blocking adblockers, maybe it’s time to look into alternatives and start migrating videos there as well. Any viable Fediverse alternatives that’s mature enough to contend with youtube?
If anyone actually knows how video within the Fediverse works, please share…
I’ve been trying to figure out and I’m struggling.
There’s @peertube, @owncast, @tilvids
But, for the life of me, I cannot figure out how it works
Peertube is youtube like federated software, while owncast is something like twitch I think. Like lemmy and kbin, while https://tilvids.com/ is one instance of peertube, but it’s owner is really trying to bring high quality content over there. You can get a feeling of what are they trying to make be reading their blog: https://blog.tilvids.com/ it is really something that makse me optimistic.
So nebula seems to be flying under people’s radar, but seems like the obvious option at the moment with many you tubers there already.
It’s subscription based. I’ve got one. I really hope they find a way to join the fediverse in some way.
Nebula is only populated by some of the Top 1% of YouTubers who made a name for themselves on YouTube. You can’t get in until you’re already well-known and they approach you. And once you’re in, you’re stuck shilling for Nebula on YouTube for the rest of your days.
They do not care about the little guy, and expect YouTube to act as its vetting process. It is not a replacement for YouTube. If YouTube went belly up one day, they would not have any place to curate new talent, and would be riding the coattails of whatever ends up being the real replacement for YouTube.
