IGNAS · 10-28-2022, 06:44 AM

Hey guys,

I'm looking forward to launching a tube site, but have no experience with them.
I know that no one wants or will share the "secrets" to a successful tube, but I certainly would like to find out some essential things.

So my main concern/question would be regarding content.
I see many many sites with millions (!) of videos indexed, some of them are only a few years old or etc.

So concern no. 1 (content):

How and where do they get so many of them? Certainly, you can hire people to upload them for you, but still it would take a huuuge amount of time to complete.
Another issue - they're probably not (?) scrape'ing them because otherwise google would probably punish them.
Last issue - if you're downloading them from somewhere and re-uploading them to your site - how do you avoid DMCA removals from Google?
Because most of them, of course, are copyrighted and it's only a matter of time before someone decides to dmca you.

Concern no. 2 (CMS):

Which platform (CMS) would you recommend and why?
I know wordpress can be applied to run a tube, but is it worth it? Maybe KVS, Mechbunny or etc. is better?

Concern no. 3 (hosting):

Regarding all the legalities and risks, are there any good reasons NOT to use an offshore dedicated server to store all the videos?

Any kind of advice and answers are super-HIGHLY appreciated!

Thank you!
