This is awesome! I'm glad the tides are changing. I suspect some of this is a big F you to Russia too.
Modi brings me a lot of discomfort and I am unhappy with India's democratic backsliding but we do need their weight in counterbalancing China.
Oh sure, I agree with you there. For video I don't see how you can get away from a deeply capital-influenced project because it still requires such tremendous resource scaling.
Are you familiar with peertube? I'm not suggesting it's going to replace YouTube but it's kind of neat that there's at least one open source platform that you can self host video on. But I agree, the scale issue is huge. All I can foresee is a world where we have a lot of different little sites. Not sure if that's better but YouTube has a total stranglehold.

It's one of the most.....strategies of all time....
