I feel that between nostr, torrents, zaps and payment splits, the tools for building a better YouTube exist. Seeders could profit share v4v, users could pay or access for "free" via ads - both paying seeders and creators. Hosting burden is shared across paid users. Content ownership is easy enough with the crypto in nostr.

The problem is that the hosting platforms are quite buggy. Nostrcheck would be the most trustable, but still a bit problematic.

It is still not obvious to me how you can guarantee the video will be up 1 year from now. And if I would have to pay to incentivise seeders to keep my video up, or I would have to seed it, its unrealistic to think people will use that. The reason YouTube pickedup is because you post and forget, an...

Isn't the ad model what got us in the situation in the first place? People want to make money and the ads on YouTube do that and come with a huge trade off.

Add in payment splits for those who share links (ie referral link) and you have incentivized word-of-mouth

Someone could fork Tribler and add lightning. The rest is already integrated. It has a “honoring” system (no crypto coin) to determine if you seeded enough to be allowed to download faster. This system was called Tribler. https://repository.tudelft.nl/record/uuid:9a7bc08f-9f7f-43fc-a410-3961...
