Ask HN: Does a decent non-YouTube video discovery aggregator exist?
I've been thinking a bit about decentralized video hosting lately. I think to see innovation in this space we have to get past YouTube's stranglehold on search/recommendations and discovery in general.
I think a lot of content creators would jump at the opportunity to host their videos with another provider (or even host it themselves, maybe on a p2p platform), but from what I can see it simply doesn't make monetary sense to go anywhere but YT.
It would be cool if this could be done in a reasonable decentralized way, but I think even a decentralized service would go a long way to fostering competition in the hosting/encoding space.
