Could we start using something besides youtube? I really hate that they demand I dox myself in order to view the video. I either have to sign in, or turn off my VPN. Not cool.
Lightning.video would be cool but i could never get a video to play

It's just for phones, though? Not the way I watch video. My eyes aren't that good. Still might install it on my Android, though, just to check it out. Looks cool.
What's your suggestion?

It's decentralized? I'm so confused about how that works for something like video hosting. I'll have to read about this.

Have you ever torrented before? On a technical level torrenting is the most efficient way to share any file p2p, but it was especially popular before netflix for movie pirating. So yes this project uses torrenting.
Oh so the point of centralization with torrenting is the initial peer finding stage (if memory serves). I forget what the host that tells you who all the peers are is called.

I see a lot of people posting rumble videos, but I really don't know. Most people here seem more plugged in to the tech world than me. If I understood how Nostr worked I might suggest something on that protocol, but again, I'm not the guy to ask. I don't fully understand the problem.
