   Interesting results. I'm a strong yes. It's a social publishing service with subscriptions, likes, and comments. It fits really well into the Fediverse model.

     An awful lot of people got mad that this could never happen and it wasn't worth talking about.

     First, we talk about fictional things all the time. It's fun and harmless.

     Second, it's pretty clear to me why YouTube would federate.

     First, if the Fediverse was larger than YouTube, it would be advantageous. With 2.5B MAUs on YouTube, I think we have a long way to go before we outnumber them. But maybe not forever.

     The other reason is if regulators required it.

     Oh, I nearly forgot: a lot of people thought the culture and ads on YouTube would be bad for existing Fediverse users.

     Which, like, it's really easy to block a server if you don't want to interact with them. We have the technology.

     @evan I wonder if it would be possible to build a federation-layer ad-blocker tool, designed to block any incoming posts which are detected to be ads.
