It just needs an incentive to have others host your content, AKA FileCoin. You've always gotta pay a little bit to keep your sites up.
I think it's worse than that, there needs to be an incentive for businesses to own and support it for non-enthusiasts. How could Apple or Google or Amazon or Facebook make money by promoting a distributed internet?

A good old website? No. We don't need the domain, you can take the https://github.com/dtube/production repository, ipfs add -r it on ipfs, and use DTube this way -> https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmRWPnY8h7Eg4v74GtKT6UBy2kUAN139QwYPUrg... (few bugs but it works apart from /home not being rendered on first load, you need to click the logo) What is decentralised: - The website (its fully static and can be hosted on ipfs) - The v…
ipfs.io it's part of a centralised DNS system(.io cctld) so when ipfs.io goes down I assume your website will go down as well?

Regardless of your opinions on the subject it's a bad thing for the platform. If 90% of the content is highly divisive then it's going to "taint" STEEM by association, people will assume that if you're posting there it's because you adhere to that point of view. Good luck becoming a Youtube-like general purpose video host in these conditions. See 8chan for instance: I really like the blend of reddit's flexibility (wh…
The fact that all these sites exist (4chan, 8chan, Voat, Gab, etc) suggests that there is demand. You may find their content objectionable, and I may agree with you, but that doesn't mean there's not a viable business there. > Regardless of your opinions on the subject it's a bad thing for the platform [DTube] I don't agree. If DTube becomes associated with the far right, which by the way is totally jumping to conclu…
That being said I browsed a bit through d.tube since my earlier comment and unlike the parent I don't see that much "controversial" content. However I don't see a lot of quality videos I'd be interested in either... Mostly vlogs and cryptocurrency-related videos.
Ok, so I'm looking at a website that tells me it's decentralized. But from all I can tell this is just a good old website. Somebody has control over the domain name. Points it to servers of his choice. And the servers deliver content of his choice. What's decentralized about it?
The video content comes from ipfs - if you run a local node and install the browser extension to redirect requests from gateway.ipfs.io to your local node - then you have no dependence upon a single service.

Looks like it's already going the way vid.me was right before it closed down (as in super meta videos talking about how great the site is). I think people underestimate just how hard it is to run a video sharing service like youtube and have a healthy community all while making money.
Youtube didnt really start with quality content

Automated AI algorithms, some day.
how is an "AI algorithm" going to figure out a newly uploaded video is a dupe of a Youtube video that is in the process of trending? How would you effectively contentID every single popular video on Youtube and run it against a fully distributed video platform? Just magical AI things I guess?

thats what the users earned by getting liked by other users
How liquid are those earnings? Can they be withdrawn easily and converted to BTC/USD?
Delay aside, it’s all the author’s.
Interesting idea, but unfortunately (and as expected) full of antisemitic and „new world order“ conspiracy stuff by people that claim YouTube is censoring them.
It's like youtube in it's first decade.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why is this a bad thing, let people post what they want to. Also if someone says YouTube is censoring them why wouldn't you believe it?
It's likely to forever remain a niche for that kind of content only. What reasonable person would say: "I know, I'll host my video on that website which opens with a list of conspiracy videos and has antisemitism promoted in the sidebar next to my content/face." (And even more - which popular company would do that?)
Now, if you're talking conspiracy theories, that's totally different, and still not a problem, for many who believe in free expression, regardless if they're interested or not.
Cool project! But I have a hard time shaking the feeling that a lot of the content and comments are bots or are paid for.
