Whelp, hopefully federated video sharing gets the momentum it needs to compete with YT. Seems like it’s the only alternative that’ll be left.

I doubt Vimeo was putting up numbers that actually competed, either, but it was there as an alternative.

Need to solve the discover-ability of it though. Peertube is only useful if you know what you’re going there for.

I have seen a few smaller ones pop up too (admittedly not open source) like Nebula. I could see the appeal of a professional hosting service for creators

I don’t know about Floatplane or Nebula, but Dropout uses Vimeo as their back end. So this could impact some of the independent guys.

Ah shit, I hadn’t thought of that. Hopefully this gives them a kick to upgrade their system or get something of their own.

Patreon seems like the most likely competitor. I think some content is now hosted directly there.
