Imagine a p2p youtube and without spam videos did you like the idea?

Wait what, a decentralized youtube??? you mean no advertisement video right? so how content creator earn revenue from their video, on youtube it's clear that the content creator making money from those advertisers that's why they the youtuber competing to create a high-quality content whether it's concept or video since they get paid, i just don't get it with your project, can you explain more about this, sounds cool though.

Ok people support network with p2p so video company not need to Pay alot for support network people Will get rewarded  in crypto and need to be banners to support platform but the revenue can share with users that see banners, contentors  for develop a good video and with no video ADS or invasive publicity what do you think about this

check https://lbry.io/, its a filesharing. not exactly youtube but i believe this is what your looking for.

Excellent i already research time ago library credits but what do you think about the project?

Ok I got it, It means that the revenue of content creator is influenced by how much is promoted on the banner right? maybe as a viewer is greatly benefited by this but how content creator? there's should be something that can make them think why we should upload our video to this site, I mean like earnings greater than youtube or something, but I like the idea decentralized youtube, very interesting, good luck.

Thanks my friend yes we would love to give great rewards to contentor to have quality on site

I hope this project covers the removal of fake vidoes like wrong video name and diffrent content. Some of the videos also have an adult content which is not should be in youtube. There are also computer tricks and tips which are really not working, not helpful at all and just want to raise their followers and views.

Exactly we have an algo that you cant upload same video twice so we have alot of technology ,besides library credits we support network and users so never Will be a fall down. And yes algo Also Will detect nudity we are working very hard on this

The project is ok from my perspective. The LBC coins are all mined and there was no premine or ICO to take advantage of the ignorance of the altcoin community. They received a seed funding from a small VC for $500,000. That should be enough for their development.

Excellent and what do you think about descentralize YouTube

It's not that easy. Youtube (Google) and Facebook have working on their algorithm for years and still result is far from perfect. Good luck anyway.

The idea seems interesting, but you have funds to implement this idea and you know that you will have to compete with giants already well established in the market? so be prepared to invest a lot of money in advertising and conquer this market will not be either an easy task. But all business is difficult at the beginning.



this is another point that is very important and PO for all I know is still a newbie in this industry

LBRY is a decentralized digital content sharing and publishing platform and their concept is good, pay-to-watch model. There is another one, Viewly, decentralized peer-to-peer video platform and this one seems a better decentralized alternative to YouTube. They are working on cross uploading where users would be able to sync their YouTube videos to Viewly. Instead of pesky ads, subscription, voting based micropayments model. Concept is interesting.

https://view.ly

Yes seem interesting i already watched Is a good choise

I'll throw another Youtube-like blockchain-based decentralized online video sharing competitor into the mix: Viuly.io. As far as I know, they're exactly like Youtube - but unlike most other blockchain competitors, they're not ostracising advertisers.

But, users will choose whether or not they want the ads. If they do, they can get rewards for it. Basically, the decentralisation they have focuses on eliminating points of control. Advertising revenue goes direct to viewers and creators, also with paid subscriptions. Users also get compensated for storing content (distributed content). All through tokens.


Platform's already live, in alpha, but looks like they're pretty serious. Tokens will all be distributed free through an airdrop campaign that starts next month.

Idea is great you will what i understand is you want to replace youtube by decentralized video website just how steemit what to replace facebook.
Yes thats way its very easy to ban or remove the fake and copied videos .I hope you all the best .If you need any help in development you can contact me.

Nice i Will check website seems very interesting

Well actually there's already a decentralized YouTube version out there. It's based on the steemit blockchain so you can get paid for your videos if they get upvoted. It's called Dtube (D.Tube is the new domain). You will need a steemit account in order to start uploading content.

I remember there's already one but I forgot the name , btw what you said is wrong, decentralize video will make video undeletable so end up result even more spam video , the revenue generating can learn from what steem is doing right now

funny, i guess you have to ask yourself, what is YouTube.
now imagen the amount of data YouTube has to store and Transfer.
multiply with the amount of data the btc chain currently stores .
now we see Google pays alot for Hosting their own data Centers with own electricity Generators.
i guess its a mining heaven....
wait, whats lbry ? we are just not there yet... maybe in 10 years

There's D.Tube :)
https://d.tube

https://about.d.tube

Yes but dtube Is like alpha not very functional Also using ipfs not best option for that project i would prefer webtorrent More stable

a really strange idea, I can not even imagine it, it seems like something new, and I like the new stuff, I like it. I support if you develop such a project.

we really need this, someday youtube will dictate what they want to show and what they deem is publicly viewable.. too protect freedom of expression we need a decentralized social platform.. maybe i just gave out another ico idea  ;D

Why strange idea? I think is perfect Since the states now control the media, and people do not like being silenced.
I think the idea of a billion.

I don't recommend any steem clones project because it centralized. The best option for decentralized "youtube" is Lbry it's media file sharing focusing on videos, the creator can make money by setting up a price in their videos and the community is tremendously huge, and the development is very active and had a working platform. The other option is singulardTV, personally, I don't like this project because the platform is rushed.

And how exactly are we planning to pay for the hosting services and the daily maintenance ? Truly,it can never be decentralised.There has to be a middleman involved to do all the technical stuff that is again generating a revenue model to keep the business up.Moreover,people will start claiming rights for the stolen videos.Like leaked movie trailer goes on your website,you have a lawsuit to take your website down as it promotes privacy.

How would it benefit me? I don't care in the slightest how centralised or not youtube is. A decentralised version would be heaving with child porn, beheadings and spammy junk. It would probably be intolerable to use.

Well,aren't those part of the ecosystem ? Those are the negatives  you are pointing out in the system.

You can benefit by :
 - Not having to watch add you don't need.
 - Don't have to sign in every time you are watch a video with a swear word.
 - You don't be spammed with annoying related videos which you don't like..

I don't think it's that bad.My point is,everything else is tolerable but watching the damn adds.

I haven't seen a Youtube ad in years. Adblockers take care of that.

A decentralised version of the world's most dominant platform for that medium is going to be a huge waste of time. No one's going to use it. It's too late to usurp it.

It might be an interesting experiment anyway, but so far every decentralised everything - openbazaar, bitsquare - is a ghost town. People like a bit of company.

You should take a look at Lbry. How the hosting work is, you host what you download it's kinda like how torrent work. And the revenue, a content creator can set a price for the user to be able to view their videos, so they can make a profit. For more information, you should visit the Lbry site.

I believe it is possible to create decentralized youtube, but we should answear a question that is has to be decentralized? One of advantages is no censorship and third party service.

Decentralized youtube in my opinion its great idea. Opened to the world for all
that would be great. Because why I cant watch something sometimes? Because somebody blocked this film in my country. This is a failure. Changes should be made.

Does the concept of decentralization would result to decentralized file searching?

Our team knows the problems with youtube all too well.  We have numerous friends that create content on youtube and have been slapped around.  We need a decentralized platform that competes with the power houses of video creating and sharing

I am aware of d.tube and have heard of other decentralised social media sites though they are yet to launch their ICOs.

A p2p youtube or such sounds good. But simple implementing a blockchain technology into a video sharing platform does not mean that the number of spam videos and the click-bait videos will decrease. The moderation of content by real people is what is necessary and what is lacking in youtube. If that was to happen then the video-sharing section would be much more cleaner.


I have been keeping an eye on steem and their methods. Honestly speaking whatever hype is on this platform, steem is a ponzi scheme where only upvotes from the whales count and not just content. So you need to invest more steem into your content just to hype them to get more steem. To me its just another ponzi scheme.

WOW Thats really bad why Pay for better the idea for our platform Is you Will be Pay for better content no viceversa

If there is this should have a blockchain record to it but they must be needing a bigger memory for this since it is a video and not just some texts. Imagine everyone is uploading their videos like making a music videos, tutorials, blogs, etc., how will they'd be going to adjust to this when there's too much users are using it. And it may cost a lot of time i guess before it is being written/recorded specially if the user uploaded a movie. This is so time consuming for the server and may the user will be affected soon because of the delay.

that would never work, why dont you just get adblock and you just solves your problem with out having to create anything!

This sounds like a great idea, though! Keep us posted if you find something

That is very narrow minded.AdBlock can block adds but doens't stop giving you suggestions for the videos you're not interested to watch.You are not understanding the whole thing,the vision of the project is to start a videoBlog without having a centralised party to make all the rules.

Viewly is doing this, I believe.

sounds like a just sending videos to each other, there will be so much spam btw

most of the high-quality YouTube content is created only because good money is paid for it. on such decentralized video hosting there will be only video with cats and the same videos from YouTube, it is unlikely that it will ever become a project with original high-quality video content

FlorinCoin has released a website called Alexandria.io that is attacking sites like youtube, spotify, vimeo, itunes, etc.. Their idea is that you buy florincoins and pay the creator a number of florincoins when you want to view, buy or download the desired content.

This way the creator gets paid directly rather than receiving 0.0001% of the google ads revenue.  for this to work a mass adoption is necessary. Right now they are quite unheard of. After Florincoin releases their new website in a couple of days, it will gain more media attention I think.

Once a big artist joins the site, I think the adoption will increase exponentially. Right now the challenge is mainly to get it out to the public.

Yes. Youtube are full of clickbait videos and garbage content so I'll be waiting for that project to succeed.

LBRY would be an answer if not a huge premine.
I would choose SIA as an alternative. They have a video streaming feature in a roadmap.
