LBRY would be an answer if not a huge premine.
I would choose SIA as an alternative. They have a video streaming feature in a roadmap.

Imagine a p2p youtube and without spam videos did you like the idea?
Yes. Youtube are full of clickbait videos and garbage content so I'll be waiting for that project to succeed.
FlorinCoin has released a website called Alexandria.io that is attacking sites like youtube, spotify, vimeo, itunes, etc.. Their idea is that you buy florincoins and pay the creator a number of florincoins when you want to view, buy or download the desired content.
This way the creator gets paid directly rather than receiving 0.0001% of the google ads revenue. for this to work a mass adoption is necessary. Right now they are quite unheard of. After Florincoin releases their new website in a couple of days, it will gain more media attention I think.
Once a big artist joins the site, I think the adoption will increase exponentially. Right now the challenge is mainly to get it out to the public.

most of the high-quality YouTube content is created only because good money is paid for it. on such decentralized video hosting there will be only video with cats and the same videos from YouTube, it is unlikely that it will ever become a project with original high-quality video content
sounds like a just sending videos to each other, there will be so much spam btw
Viewly is doing this, I believe.
that would never work, why dont you just get adblock and you just solves your problem with out having to create anything!
That is very narrow minded.AdBlock can block adds but doens't stop giving you suggestions for the videos you're not interested to watch.You are not understanding the whole thing,the vision of the project is to start a videoBlog without having a centralised party to make all the rules.
This sounds like a great idea, though! Keep us posted if you find something

Does the concept of decentralization would result to decentralized file searching?
If there is this should have a blockchain record to it but they must be needing a bigger memory for this since it is a video and not just some texts. Imagine everyone is uploading their videos like making a music videos, tutorials, blogs, etc., how will they'd be going to adjust to this when there's too much users are using it. And it may cost a lot of time i guess before it is being written/recorded specially if the user uploaded a movie. This is so time consuming for the server and may the user will be affected soon because of the delay.

A p2p youtube or such sounds good. But simple implementing a blockchain technology into a video sharing platform does not mean that the number of spam videos and the click-bait videos will decrease. The moderation of content by real people is what is necessary and what is lacking in youtube. If that was to happen then the video-sharing section would be much more cleaner.
Well actually there's already a decentralized YouTube version out there. It's based on the steemit blockchain so you can get paid for your videos if they get upvoted. It's called Dtube (D.Tube is the new domain). You will need a steemit account in order to start uploading content.
I have been keeping an eye on steem and their methods. Honestly speaking whatever hype is on this platform, steem is a ponzi scheme where only upvotes from the whales count and not just content. So you need to invest more steem into your content just to hype them to get more steem. To me its just another ponzi scheme.
WOW Thats really bad why Pay for better the idea for our platform Is you Will be Pay for better content no viceversa

I am aware of d.tube and have heard of other decentralised social media sites though they are yet to launch their ICOs.
Our team knows the problems with youtube all too well. We have numerous friends that create content on youtube and have been slapped around. We need a decentralized platform that competes with the power houses of video creating and sharing

Decentralized youtube in my opinion its great idea. Opened to the world for all
that would be great. Because why I cant watch something sometimes? Because somebody blocked this film in my country. This is a failure. Changes should be made.

I believe it is possible to create decentralized youtube, but we should answear a question that is has to be decentralized? One of advantages is no censorship and third party service.

And how exactly are we planning to pay for the hosting services and the daily maintenance ? Truly,it can never be decentralised.There has to be a middleman involved to do all the technical stuff that is again generating a revenue model to keep the business up.Moreover,people will start claiming rights for the stolen videos.Like leaked movie trailer goes on your website,you have a lawsuit to take your website down as it promotes privacy.
Well,aren't those part of the ecosystem ? Those are the negatives you are pointing out in the system.
You can benefit by :
- Not having to watch add you don't need.
- Don't have to sign in every time you are watch a video with a swear word.
- You don't be spammed with annoying related videos which you don't like..
I don't think it's that bad.My point is,everything else is tolerable but watching the damn adds.

I haven't seen a Youtube ad in years. Adblockers take care of that.
A decentralised version of the world's most dominant platform for that medium is going to be a huge waste of time. No one's going to use it. It's too late to usurp it.
It might be an interesting experiment anyway, but so far every decentralised everything - openbazaar, bitsquare - is a ghost town. People like a bit of company.
How would it benefit me? I don't care in the slightest how centralised or not youtube is. A decentralised version would be heaving with child porn, beheadings and spammy junk. It would probably be intolerable to use.
