Kabbaway<p>This video voices a lot of my frustrations with <a href="https://aus.social/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YouTube</span></a>. I’ve wanted to jump ship for years and I’ve been trying to find alternatives like <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PeerTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeerTube</span></a>… the main barrier for me is the price of storage. </p><p>I have over 800GB of videos on my YT channel currently, which far exceeds most of the plans on the hosting services I’ve seen. If I want to back up my current channel AND keep making videos on a hosting service, it’s not clear if I’d be able to add more storage as needed, let alone be able to afford it. And I don’t even make videos for money - I can only imagine how hard it’d be for creators who rely on videomaking to pay the bills.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> knows video hosting is expensive, and that keeps content creators like me tethered to their monopoly. I’d 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 don’t know how I can feasibly do that without making myself broke in the process 😩💚 </p><p>🔗<a href="https://youtu.be/mo2FdoGndsM" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/mo2FdoGndsM</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@Cloud68" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Cloud68</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.social/@fedihost" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>fedihost</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Jimquisition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jimquisition</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/StephanieSterling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StephanieSterling</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Video" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Video</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tech</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VideoHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VideoHosting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FuckBigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FuckBigTech</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NoBigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoBigTech</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DeGoogling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeGoogling</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DeGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeGoogle</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FediHost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediHost</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Cloud68" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cloud68</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/YouTuber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YouTuber</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ContentCreator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ContentCreator</span></a></p>
