Right, it’s oddly calm and peaceful here. It’s nice watching it burn from the other side of the river. - trying to delete this double comment but can’t. I’m guessing just press post once even if it says that it failed?
The problem is, unlike text (like on here and Mastodon), video files can become extremely large, so you’d have to have a pretty big amount of storage to replace YouTube, federated or not.
I work in IT, I know how storage works. I just don’t know if they’re on prem hosting or primarily using a private cloud service.
I mean they have the money, might as well offload to specialists where you can, right? I wouldn’t be building new infrastructure day and night when I could just have a B to B contract with AWS or something.
…as for me, I’m kinda getting a kick out of all this chaos

Calm, peaceful, and if we’re honest, still a little buggy.
To answer your question, yes.
For the record, I ran into that issue, too. Ended up commenting four times. I think I was able to delete the extras, though.

If YouTube dumpsters it the fediverse might gain a competitive foothold.

True, that’s mostly what their cost is. Servers and storage.
I wonder how much YouTube depends on cloud storage right now.
100%? Do you think that there’s some box sitting under someone’s desk hosting Youtube? Hint: They’re owned by Google.
