   There will come a point where you ask internet-oracle-of-choice "how do I self-host a Netflix alternative" and they will intentionally give you bad advice in order to discourage you.

   That point is coming sooner rather than later, and we need to train *an entire generation* of internet users how to get out of this trap.

   That's *our* work to do, RIGHT NOW.

     Learn to host your own services now. Because in the future you might not be able to discover how.

     Since folks have asked, I'll elaborate a bit.

     I believe Google/Microsoft/OpenAI/et al will increasingly work to strip search results which provide alternatives to their own products, and that includes self-hosted media.

     I've seen this when I've attempted to cover using RSS feeds instead of YouTube subscriptions- I have no reason to trust Google to surface Google alternatives in good faith.

     @thanius That would be a fantastic project. I know of plenty of self-hosted search options but none that are so comprehensive.

     Muting this- way too many conversations happening below that I'm getting tagged in.

     Learn to self-host, that is all.

     (Edit: I'm not discouraging the conversation I just can't keep track of it anymore)
