We really should be working together to upload content from youtube to peertube instances.
Don't ask for permission. Just do it. Civilly disobey.
And who is going to pay for the bandwidth and storage space on those peertube instances?
I mean, I too want to get away from YouTube, but it is going to be very difficult to convince people to pay for what YouTube gives away for free.
The people who set up the instances usually also are responsible for paying to keep them active.
I mean, they're already there. Have you tried using Peertube?
Yeah and it turns out that this isn’t working well. https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/5783 Video is an unsolved problem, it’s great people are working on it but we aren’t there yet. PeerTube is not a viable YouTube alternative.
That's just the nature of the internet.
I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to block you now.
I've seen too much incompetence on your part, and I need to stop validating it with responses.
Goodbye.
Wtf
They probably thought you were me, I got blocked above for making a similar point that you'd also made (although I think you did a better job of making the point).
Apparently pointing out that Peertube still has quite a way to go to meet YouTube's feature set just shows incompetence.
Edit: I actually checked out their profile and we are lucky to have been blocked by them. Everything they post is either pompous, argumentative, dismissive, or some combination.
They are already there, and someone is paying for the storage and bandwidth for what's already there. Asking for random people to start pulling videos from YouTube and uploading them to someone else's server is going to very quickly make that server go away.
And yes, I have tried Peertube. My experience is when I click a Peertube link from Lemmy, 9/10 it is a dead link.
Newest version of lemmy fixed this quite well. Take a look: https://lemmy.world/post/27751672
Old lemmy broke a lot of activityhub stuff unfortunately.
Gonna have to ignore you, bud.
Arguing with incompetent people such as yourself is a waste of effort.
Goodbye.
Haha, so many butthurt self-righteous people in this thread.
Why are you so toxic? I thought Lemmy was supposed to foster better discussions than Reddit but here you are name-calling and talking down to people.
Please consider treating people better in the future
I dont think its ok to just rip peoples content without their permission.
Riots don't work unless you smash some windows
Smashing your local mom-and-pop shop will surely show big businesses that you're serious /s
That's fine.
Nobody is forcing you to do it.
