Not being overrun with guys in sunglasses telling me the Jews and Gays are hiding the flat earth from me would be a good start.
I run a PeerTube instance and the amount of people that try following my instance with exactly THAT type of content is... astonishing. It just seems like no PeerTube instance is properly moderated.
There are (from my subscriptions):
needs to have a way to pay for itself. unlike text and image based systems I'm not sure that can reasonably done with just node ops doing it because they want or need it.
Incentivization structures, neutral (non-biased) public processing systems, and likely distribution of multiple system types (transcoders, processors, storage and edge).
There are some technologies that make this possible but nothing is fully built to purpose here yet.
I'd probably post quite a bit of content (music, etc) on a youtube alternative if I could expect it to not be copyright-striked. (and if anyone would watch it. The current PeerTube instances seem very barren.)
Sadly no video platform will ever stand up to yt without creators. Odysee is the closest and thats only because youtube bans decenting opinion about topics
Youtube has pissed off their users something fierce for the last 5+ years (particularly smaller channels) and im honestly waiting for youtube to do something stupid next that rips apart their company like reddit and Twitter.
The problem is that no one can compete with YouTube. YouTube offers free 8k video hosting for everyone. And you have a relatively small number of ads. It's basically impossible for any other video hosting service to provide this all for free.
