It's not enough to make work around for YouTube. We need a new YouTube.
True, but with the ability to combine all competitors in a single feed a significant hurdle has been removed
This is why I'm excited for it. Alternatives simply do not have the breadth nor depth of videos YouTube does, but if the same content is found on either platform, you bet I'll pick an alternative. It's an onramp to other services.
that's literally the whole point of this?
the point of this is a new youtube is unlikely to take off because people can't start using it without missing all their regular content.
this means you can keep all your regular content and add new sources, with the same creators, which means they can start to move to new platforms and take their followers. that's how we'll replace youtube.
He talked about saving videos from being deleted when you lose one of your accounts, so it's in the works
There are several "new YouTube"s. The problem is getting people to transition to them. And this is intended to do exactly that.
What's Piped?
Piped is alternative frontend, so still youtube
It needs YouTube to fall first, no one has that kind of money to operate at such a loss for such a long time.
Platforms with a serious offering have no chance until that.
That's basically what it is
