Can’t see this doing well, who’s gonna want to host it and pay the bandwidth and storage costs?

I know people would be willing to do that for a YT alternative, but I don’t think there’s many people who want to shell out so some kid can post their cringe dance video.

Also, who tf gonna use it? I’d imagine Tik Tok users are the social media group that cares the least about the fediverse, open source, and privacy…

Perhaps it's one way to change that

PeerTube already exists, and has basically no usage (because no one is willing to foot the cost)
