What’s the alternative to YouTube?
Ive been reading Lord of the Rings for some weeks now, and surprisingly it can be so much better than watching a movie. You actually know what the characters are thinking and feeling, instead of watching them from the outside. And there are so many small, important details which get completely glossed over in movies. It doesnt help that most new movies/series are boring, and Ive seemingly already watched every good movie or series in existence. Reading books is great.
Ooh, I'll try to take that dare. Have you seen The Man Who Knew Too Little? Pretty underrated movie starring Bill Murray.
Thanks for the recommendation, I might check it out. And I was exaggerating, of course there are good movies thatI havent seen yet, but those are usually from the 90s or earlier, and not so easy to discover. For example I recently watched Lost Horizon and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), both excellent despite their age.
I'll have to check those out! Sometimes it's great to see old movies before the cliche became a cliche.
I feel like this will be the biggest challenge. Delivering high quality video seamlessly at scale will be incredibly expensive.
I wonder if some kind of torrent technology to distribute the load but would it be fast enough for streaming video?
I've been streaming torrents trough stremio with as little as 5 seeds just fine. So most likely yeah

For solid educational and entertainment content? Nebula
This is the only thing I'm really still on, some due to YouTube Music, and partially because I'm off the streaming services. No Netflix, no HBO, no Hulu. I have Peacock for a hard-to-find illegal stream sport, but it's legitimately a good deal vs the old coverage I paid for ($5/mo for the like 9 months a year it runs, vs the old $150/yr for only that sports coverage). If I had a consistent online stream to watch, I'd stop paying that too.
YouTube just has no real good alternative right now, but I really wish it did.
Torrenting?
