    I’m not convinced that there ever can be a real alternative to YouTube. Sure there are other video delivery platforms on the Internet, but nothing with the depth and breadth of content. We’re talking about more than 20 years of video uploads - it’s a historical archive. In the same vein, there is no alternative to AtomFilms, because most of the content that was there is now inaccessible.

      True. And, frustratingly, it’s a 20 year digital archive that’s in the care of a single for-profit corporation. At least if it was a federated platform the archive would be spread about without a single entity having full control.
