What is Booster Video Hosting?
Booster is an open-source video hosting platform built with Next.js, designed as a customizable alternative to YouTube. It focuses on user control and transparency, offering a public documentation of its recommendation algorithm.
Key features include:
Users can globally disable vertical videos (Shorts/TikTok style) and content flagged as AI-generated from their settings.
The platform implements an experience (XP) system. Users earn XP by engaging with the community or watching voluntary ads.
Earned XP can be used to purchase cosmetic items, profile badges, titles, and interface themes (such as Dark Mode or Retro Theme).
Features built-in community chats, finding creators by category, and a subscriber-focused feed.
