User DeletedHow long do you think Youtube will last before it dies like reddit did?
simpleI don't think anything will ever replace YouTube. Did you ever wonder why there aren't many good alternatives?
It's because video streaming websites are very expensive and usually run at a loss. The storage and bandwidth to support all these users constantly uploading and watching videos is really high. It's why the Twitch competitor Mixer shut down a few years ago, it was bleeding money.
I use an adblocker and hate ads as much as the next person but imo prople do take these video services for granted. They need ads to survive and I can't imagine a world where I'd need to pay a subscription to use them.

The question is, what adblockers? It’s very rare that I encounter an adblocker-blocker that doesn’t only work against AdBlock but also against uBo.
