I don't believe one exists, correct me if i am wrong. I believe something like this should be worked on as i sense youtube is going to tighten down soon, too. Would it even be possible?

Yeah open-source alternative youtube would look bleak without some sort of reliable (and heavy) funding. I suppose if they could get the eu to fund them, then maybe but yeah it looks a bit bleak if i am being honest

If funding enters the picture, capitalism means that it'll eventually shift towards profit (or in some cases "not operating at a severe loss"). Something based on BitTorrent might be one of the only capitalism-proof solutions for handling video, but that of course has its own problems (most people that create video content like to be able to delete it, for example)

That's what peer tube basically operates on. Not exactly. But it's a very similar concept.
