Official Hooktube Thread

Since every other discussion seems to be getting derailed with Hooktube/Anti-hooktube flaming. So type away! I'll start:

Anti-hooktubers, why don't you like Hooktube? Are you incredulous to the legitimacy of such a project? Or do you think it's unethical? Or are you frustrated that there are people using Hooktube and not looking for a true, viable alternative to YouTube?

I never said that anything did change. As it happens, things are just as bad as they were under Obama, and that's the issue: small, budding platforms simply don't have the revenue to pay the ISP tariff the way the Netflix historically did, and while that isolated incident was briefly bad for Netflix, there's equal chance that similar negotiations could unfairly benefit big platforms on wired the way that wireless service plans often favor big media platforms (free streaming for certain platforms). While there's no evidence to suggest that smaller platforms have ever been treated unfairly, there's plenty of instances where things like BitTorrent have been throttled and worse. It's clear that there's never going to be a centralized platform equal to YouTube or even the smaller, more niche Vimeo, so the obvious logical continuation is that the most viable YouTube competitor of the future would be decentralized, possibly relying on a protocol like BitTorrent as with ipfs and PeerTube.
