Mostly the title, but it would be nice to have more options now that Reddit and Twitter have alternatives. I would love to see a YouTube and ticktock version. Maybe even an instagram as well.

It’d be cool, but I think any youtube clone that doesn’t have a large dedicated takedown staff is going to have a hard time sticking around. That and the fact that the servers would overheat due to lack of airflow as the building they’re housed in is buried under a mountain of printed out and snail mailed DMCA violation notices make things problematic.
Then there’s the order of magnitude increase in resources required to serve up the content.
Add to that the fact that the reason most content creators are on youtube is for the monetization portion of their platform and it’s a tall order to replicate something on that level.
That being said, an alternative of some kind for non-copyrighted content would be awesome.
The “hard part” of being YouTube isn’t storage or bandwidth or recommendations or even takedowns. The really hard part is making business deals with a vast number of advertisers, providing the revenue stream. Video creators who want to be paid will prefer a service that can offer a revenue stream over one that can’t yet.
Peertube?
Odysee if you’re ok with it not being federated(syncs all content fron your account too)
