yes! However youtube got stuck with a lot great videos. Unless someone form IPFS or torrent community are already secretively archiving youtube videos. Then youtube video random view key will just serve as an index for videos for a globally archived videos (the video can also sit on owner's hard drive) (kinda like what archive.org is doing for web page). Then someone can write a plugin to republish the video to peertube, web torrent, odyssey all the other alternative video sharing sites. This shall at least to start take people's dependancy off of youtube/alphabet/google platform/infrastructure.

- ploum 3y agoPeertube allows you to mirror a Youtube channel so, at the very least, creators could already create a Peertube mirror of their own content with very few effort. Peertube also allows to proeminently display a configurable "support" button to redirect viewers to your patreon/liberapay/paypal or whatever. The only reason to not mirror your content to peertube? Because you want people to watch Youtube ads. But, as this news show us, nobody want to watch the ads. PS: I’m surprized peertube is not more famous so I posted it independently here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37906699 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37906699
