    YouTube is so bad. The click driven internet needs to die. There should just be a publicly funded video host with a basic web functionality and an API so third party devs can use it.

        Yup, there have been countless attempts to paywall creator content but they always flop. The closest we have right now is offering video content through Patreon subscriptions, but creators know they can’t put their main content there because it would destroy their platform

      I never understood why „video-podcasts“ never cought on. Everybody would host their own videos or provides peer-to-peer links and it can be presented basically like a YouTube feed in compatible apps.

      As a cherry on top, a compatible app could also support YouTube and download videos from there liked piped or invidious.
