The fact that they can do expensive, on-the-fly video processing like this, and still make a profit, proves that video hosting costs are not an insurmountable barrier for the open-source internet. We need to make hardware accelerated peertube ubiquitous, and get creators to move over.
Processing isn't the expensive part. It's bandwidth. Transferring that much data gets expensive.
And our own bandwidth, too. Google isn't paying my Internet bill. Hope the rest of my content creators switch soon, otherwise I'll miss them.
What could content creators switch to that would save your own bandwidth?
Something not wasting it on endless ads.
