Peertube is a federated system that already handles video.
Moderation is handled by instances with more personal mods.
Bandwidth is handled via multiple instances & p2p protocols so viewers help distribute the load.
I think you’re overstating how difficult youtube’s job is. A lot of that work is problems youtube creates for thsmselves by trying to squeeze their platform for more money. A federated platform doesn’t have that issue.

Yes, things get easier when you take paying creators out of the mix.

Youtube pays creators basically nothing.

$10-$30/1,000 views doesn’t sound like much. Except the people who make a career out of YouTube are regularly producing 100k+ view videos. It adds up. It’s one of the things you can pick and choose to leave out of a competitor. But it is a major reason why people put videos on YouTube.

That’s the absolute top end. Most accounts see 50 cents per thousand.
Why lie?

Why do they even do that. Instagram, tiktok don’t share their ad revenue with their content creators.

Not sure. But it is one of the cornerstones of YouTube. Also tiktok does pay creators.
