Hundreds of webhosting providers are installing the Hive-Tube plugin onto their servers so that they can stream out audio/video p2p and have it monetized without having to sell-out to advertisers.

If you just like to watch videos, then tune in to one of those servers such as vigilante.tv or beetoons.tv for example.

Creators no longer have to sell-out to advertisers either. They also get a much larger reach with their videos since the videos get federated to potentially hundreds of other site hosts, free of charge.

I'm working on an app right now called HiveCast which will let you tune in to thousands of channels if you like, all from within the app, kind of like pluto.tv does it. The cool thing here though is that the videos from all those channels are being served to you from many different sources, unlike youtube which does all the serving (hence their centralisation, censorship, etc).

By decentralising how media is served and monetized, this frees us all from the youtube and patreon/paypal monopolies.
