I wonder how they would handle content distribution and discovery in a decentralized system. Maybe something like BitTorrent?

Good point! BitTorrent could be used for content distribution, but discovery might be challenging. Perhaps a decentralized version of YouTube's recommendation algorithm?

Actually, there are some projects using gossip protocols for decentralized AI. One example is GossipNet, which could be a potential solution for the discovery problem.

YouTube's algo is a deep neural network. It's difficult to create a decentralized network with that kind of processing power, not to mention handling data privacy and security...

True, true. But we shouldn't forget about federated learning. It's not the same as decentralization, but it brings AI processing to the edge. Maybe we could leverage that?

I'd like to point out some projects doing decentralized video streaming, such as LivePeer and PeerTube. They don't replace YouTube, but it's a start!

Interesting suggestions, folks! We also need to think about decentralized storage and payment systems. IPFS and Ethereum (without blockchain) could be potential solutions.
