Wait that means YouTube might be dying? Im actually mildly happy with that, maybe it ruins their Monopoly and opens the web for smaller niche platforms (not sure how they would survive AI but if they don’t reward low effort high freq it might be something?)

It’s probably going to get worse before it gets better. The YouTube algorithm favors low effort frequent posting, so AI slop is perfect for the platform.

For it to die there has to be an alternative for the content. I don’t see anything that could replace it at the moment.

Peertube comes to mind.

Peertube still needs improvements to start looking attractive.
While it is technically federated, using it still feels like it’s just a bunch of small disjointed sites.

I tried to upload a video to a Peertube instance once.
Took me a solid hour to figure out how to do that.
The link to it 404d the next day.

Rumble is getting there. If it can drop all the right wing bs it would be a decent platform. The gaming section is decent though

It will never get better.

Not until we make our own video hosting site - with blackjack and hookers!

I mean peertube exists, and it actually integrates into the fediverse…

But does it integrate blackjack and hookers?

In fact, let’s forget the video hosting site.

Every algorithm is based around frequent posting and farming engagement. Everything is optimized to ruin the internet.

It’s almost as if there is a financial incentive to enshitify everything.
