Youtube Replica (Quote)

[Inherit]

Me and some friends have been thinking about going into business together to create a video site like youtube. The reason behind this is because of the amount of backlash youtube is getting from content creators and we believe we could possibly create a site like this as to my knowledge there aren't any other sites like this.

At the moment we are just looking for a quote on how much something like this would cost and yes we know it would most likely cost over $10,000. We would want something like this to have a complete front end and backend complete.

Please don't say anything like 'I can get this done for xxx amount of money' if you are not an actual reputable dev.

Only looking for QUOTES right now.

Thanks.

Soooo... You're looking for someone to create for you the site and you will not do anything but take credits?

A normal website is usually 300-400$ so that's going to be more expensive so around $1,000. But then you have to pay for advertisement etc to get it more populated.

that's without the other things youtube has - like machine learning search suggestions etc

ok, how much would you think those would cost?

The advertisement is pretty straightforward as all you need is one decently sized youtuber to move there, test it out and see that they make more money, their subscribers actually get notifications etc and that would cause them to upload more there for more revenue with soon more YouTubers moving over as well.

There are actually quite a lot of sites like YouTube. For example, Vimeo. I'm not sure you understand the responsibilities associated with creating a site like YouTube along with the maintenance and costs. Firstly, You'll need a lot of Storage space just to hold all the uploads.

According to the new recording rate, 20hrs of video per minute could require YouTube to increase its storage capacity by up to 21.0 Terabytes per day, or 7.7 Petabytes per year, placing it at a point roughly 4x more than the total amount of data generated per year by the NCSA's supercomputers in Urbana, IL.

And that amount of storage does not come cheap. Along with this, A lot of money will be going through your business from advertisers and sponsors so security will need to be high, You might want to consider hiring a web developer with real-world experience in cybersecurity and a large portfolio or even a corporation to develop the website. Another issue would be Customer Support, you will need to have good customer support for reported videos otherwise your platform would be flooded with spam content or inappropriate/illegal content.

I am not at all trying to tell you not to make the website, I just want to to have an open-minded approach and to be aware of the requirements.

Have fun doing it with someone from here...

You're gonna need design people (front-end), software engineers (backend), software architecture (scale). So about 200k$ to pay all those people to build a 1st version of something similar to Youtube.

True, but if you want it to be extensively popular, you may have to put some funding into advertisement

If you do this, best of luck as you could become very successful and rich from it!
