Given all the ad block conversation around YouTube, I wonder what it would take for conferences to post their videos to PeerTube or similar video service. I mean they have the content ready to go.
Various conferences in a topic could even together start their own instance and share the infrastructure cost. There won't be any need for content moderation.
