“The big problem is YouTube. With YouTube, Google has a centralized chokehold on video. We need a way that’s as easy and scalable to host video content, independently, as it is for written content. I don’t know what the answer to that is, technically, but we ought to start working on it with urgency.”

PeerTube, but I chuckle while saying it. Mastodon got lucky with the Twitter implosion… YouTube isn’t likely to end up in a similar boat in the near term.
