Decentralized Youtube

[polylogic]

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

D.Tube an experimental web application built on top of the STEEM Blockchain and the IPFS peer-to-peer network. D.Tube aims to become an alternative to YouTube that allows you to watch or upload videos on IPFS and share or comment about it on the immutable STEEM Blockchain, while earning cryptocurrency doing it.

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

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

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.

[jonnytracker]

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

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.

[smajler]

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.

[miccb]

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

[blockolo]

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

[Manyara]

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.

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 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.
