The alternative should be libraries hosting the peoples internet.

You may balk at the idea, much like you would have at the idea of free public libraries when originally conceived.

I like this idea so much. Do the public libraries not have some kind of video service already? Seems like a network of library-powered PeerTube instances would serve that niche really well.

in theory I like the idea but in practice, at present, it would just lead to even more centralised authoritarian control of the internet. abolish capitalism and the rest will follow
