Youtube isn’t an open source website, right? While Chromium is an open source browser. Google doesn’t really make money directly off browsers anyway more so over their services, they can afford to do open source projects like Android and Chrome os.

Exactly.

See the problem with despute googles intention of protecting their own ads is that now users in theory can’t block all of Googles competing ad networks due to the limited filter rules.

If one server goes down youl have to switch to another but peertube will continue to work. That’s the advantage.

Or use both platforms with Peertube as your main.

Tends to vary server to server, Mastodon has similar issues regarding that.

A good work around is to use Sepia Go which tries to search all instances for content. But of course their could be a few that go by their radar.

On peertube depending on the license the uploader chose you are able to just freely download the video to your device directly from the instance no addons requiref on desktop. This option won’t always be available, but is on most uploads. Just be sure that it is actually their content or covered by fair use or you might still face copyright issues.

If its his content he should just be able to reupload the clips.

Yes.

Interesting. Did any change since then? Regarding it going away.

Also unrelated, your user name reminds of a Youtuber I use to watch.
