Conversely, 'grifting' is exactly what you should be doing if you want to undermine the current server farm supported by advertising business model. Videos don't need to be hosted on a server, they can be shared through peer to peer networks, which cost nothing. |

Except huge amounts of drive space and upload bandwidth. Considering most (to an overwhelming degree) people consume videos on phones, tablets or laptops with relatively tiny drives it’s not realistic.
Maybe some decentralized system with content providers hosting themselves might work.
However all that is irrelevant even if it were technically feasible because it doesn’t align with the incentives many/most content creators have (they actually want to be paid either through ads or subscriptions..)
