I hope more people start doing something akin to Schrab Home Video, building live TV online on a shoe string budget just for fun and community. Creative tools are widespread enough that content is as easy to create as ever, and self hosted stuff is really taking off.
I have such a soft spot for like randomly produced zero-production-value content. We all likely started there and I never get tired of it.
Keep it shitty. Modern folk tale style.
One of my fave parts of Sunny if not my fave is their collection of shitty footage they've shot and archived for various schemes. So relatable
This sounds great on paper, but the network effect is the real issue here. I'm not leaving YouTube until the handful of channels I sub to leave YouTube. I left Twitter years before the acquisition because I didn't use it much, and I left Reddit as soon as I saw the handful of communities I cared about here (I tried it out when Reddit announced the API change and stayed).
So for me, the last big service is YouTube. I'm excited about Grayjay, which seeks to abstract over platforms so you can use one app for all the content you want. I'm not using it yet, but I do use NewPipe to avoid YouTube's nonsense.
