This video voices a lot of my frustrations with #YouTube. Iāve wanted to jump ship for years and Iāve been trying to find alternatives like #PeerTube⦠the main barrier for me is the price of storage.
I have over 800GB of videos on my YT channel currently, which far exceeds most of the plans on the hosting services Iāve seen. If I want to back up my current channel AND keep making videos on a hosting service, itās not clear if Iād be able to add more storage as needed, let alone be able to afford it. And I donāt even make videos for money - I can only imagine how hard itād be for creators who rely on videomaking to pay the bills.
#Google knows video hosting is expensive, and that keeps content creators like me tethered to their monopoly. Iād be so much happier if I could just completely cut ties with the company, I would LOVE to have my own website to host all my content, I just donāt know how I can feasibly do that without making myself broke in the process š©š
