The problem with forcing a user to host a video on YT is that it keeps “feeding the beast”. And the problem of forcing users to upload their content to all these separate hosting platforms is that it time consuming.
Most simply choose YT for sheer convenience. I don’t blame them.
So this idea is quite good, but it should add some more steps:
  1. Every video is downloaded from YT
  2. And automatically seeded on #nostr or #DHT (Torrent) based platforms for future reference.
This way we break the cycle of needing YT because “that’s where all videos are” and “hosting is easy via YT.”
I like this model. only issue is that its a ton of bandwidth and storage issues to download that many videos.
