How to find side project collaborators? (Youtube alternative development)

I want to find people to collaborate with on Youtube alternative development. Any ideas on where to look?

What are you building?

A video hosting website that respects content which falls under fair use, among other things. Previously I had developed a site which can also archive videos from other websites, but I wouldn't use that for something I was hosting publicly.

how will you respect fair use at scale if each copyright claim needs to be individually evaluated by someone with enough legal knowledge to make a good assessment? do you have any way of automating that assessment process? genuinely interested, btw. this sounds like a cool project

Open source, contract or what? And what type of collaborators do you need?

Open source. Both development related and otherwise; I struggle with legal compliance issues (TOS, privacy policy) and I'm not really sure how to manage those things well.

How are you going to pay for hosting and serving the content? That’s the biggest barrier to entry for YouTube competitors

Use aws and serverless and auto scale as you go. Start with bare minimum

Yeah, I'll just start small and pay for what we use myself. Considering serving content p2p as well
