What they’re doing is likely illegal in a number of locations. Unfortunately, they don’t have to do the illegal things to catch people, they kinda went overboard.
I think the most prudent thing would be to work out better monetization for Peertube and work out Peertube desktop clients and some form of buddy system to lock in backing up content. Youtube is already strangling the smaller content providers. We need some kind of open advertising market that links content creators with advertisers. Nothing like leaving the platform to rot as a repercussion :)
An open source adverts market acutually sounds like an insane, yet viable solution ive never considered. Not only would it be benefitial to users. But the adverts themselves would save money based on the fact that large corps fake advert data to bolster the price on their platform. curious did you come up with that or was this an idea thats been floating aroud?
I’ve not heard of it from anywhere else, But I wouldn’t be too terribly surprised to find projects for it. I haven’t really looked, but it seems to me like the next natural outcome.
It’ll probably be rife for abuse, and require heavy policing maybe light opsec. It might need the protection of a real company in the form of a non-profit at least.
