Given the giant amounts of storage and bandwidth needed for video hosting… A platform is not a solution. A protocol is.
Comment on YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers

Why isn’t Rumble an option? Genuinely curious. Is it because it’s not open source? or federated or something?

Why isn’t Rumble an option?
For most people who refuse to use it, it’s probably because they view it as more a haven for extremism and hate speech, as it seems to have made its niche by allowing those who were banned elsewhere (not always a bad thing…depends on offense).
Many prominent Rumble accounts maintain social media profiles on more established sites. Just over half of prominent accounts on Rumble (55%) promote accounts on other sites, including more established sites like Facebook, Twitter or YouTube, as well as other alternative social media sites examined in the Center’s broader study. While 44% of prominent Rumble accounts promote their accounts on more established social media sites, only 16% do so on the other alternative social media sites studied.
Guns, abortion and LGBTQ issues were among the subjects that prominent Rumble accounts focused on in June 2022. A review of posts from these 200 prominent Rumble accounts found that about half posted about guns and gun rights (49%) or abortion (48%), 44% posted about LGBTQ issues, and 42% posted about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. These posts came amid widespread discussion of major events and issues that were regularly covered in the news at the time.

I would personally prefer to see peer tube because it’s open source.
