The videos were too short for piracy, they were capped at like five minutes long. I used to watch videos by a legit "youtube star" named Brookers. They also used to have reply videos, before it got clogged with spam. It used to be a lot more social.

OStatus (the original Fediverse protocol) literally already had this, it just didn't have the developer excitement to keep the ball rolling.
