Sure, we can make something better, but who is going to fund such a site, because you're going to be losing millions in bandwidth for a long time.

There's a reason image hosting sites are everywhere, but no one is hosting video. It's just too expensive, and you can't make a return.

If we had some kind of peer-to-peer, decentralized video sharing platform, so we could share videos without region restrictions, and without worrying about paying for bandwidth or storage, we might be on to something. Something like torrents, but I'd need to be able to post a link here, and you could click it, and stream the video in your browser from other users.
