Inside the 'arms race' between YouTube and ad blockers / Against all odds, open source hackers keep outfoxing one of the wealthiest companies.::YouTube's dramatic content gatekeeping decisions of late have a long history behind them, and there's an equally long history of these defenses being bypassed.

newpipe is just a client for accessing youtubes servers, yes, so if youtube went away we would need to use vimeo or something else (maybe peertube, open source yt alternative?)

Thank you! Who pays for vimeo/peertube hosting costs though?

[–] NAXLAB@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Vimeo is a private operation just like YouTube.

Peertube is a "federated" system where videos are hosted among the computers of the people who upload videos.

There really needs to be a way to seed peertube videos without leaving the window open. A firefox extension even. They have extensions that do bittorrent, it shouldn't be hard. Videos could end with a "click here to seed this video" message

Yeah I was really surprised when I started looking into it that there's no "remote bandwidth runners" option. Although I think Peertube's devs may be just starting to think about that kind of thing since they just added support for remote transcode runners
