Mastodon exploded when Elon took over Twitter. Lemmy exploded when Reddit changed it’s api rules. I think the problem is not that YouTube doesn’t fuck things up, because they often do. Perhaps the alternatives are not good enough for early majority to migrate. We need more early adopters to migrate ASAP. (I’m thinking of PeerTube, but perhaps Odyssee has beter changes at the moment)
One thing that’s tricky with alternatives is just the massive bandwidth needed. You don’t need nearly as much for lemmy or mastodon
SpinDriftAlso how are the creators supposed paid for their work if everything is free?
People here seem to think ads are just a vile cash grab from google, but in fact most of the ad revenue goes directly to the creators.
Actually, I think I like the old YouTube where people didn’t really make money from the videos posted. That way there’s more people posting and it doesn’t become a sickening view of the same asshole pouring vinegar into soda or whatever that’s all about. Makes me wanna puke 🤮🤢🤮.
