Yeah this sucks, but do they have any alternatives? How else do they make money? Or is everyone mad because the amount of ads they show is disproportionate to the amount of ads they need to show?

No one here wants to talk about the realities of running such a massive video hosting operation.

No one is a serious competitor due to how large of a mountain it is to climb to compete. With every minute that goes by, YouTube becomes even more massive.

I feel like a decade or two (damn) ago now DailyMotion really had a chance man even Vimeo there for a min but then its like they just gave up fr.

It was kind if interesting to see people using Pornbub there for a min and it would have been cool for them to try and lean into that more with like a sfw variant of some sort (called something different) because they are probably one of the only companies that have the ability to do it honestly and even then, idk if they could really do it like YouTube does.

YouTube is the one single thing I haven’t de googled myself from.

@Skankhunt420 @paraphrand we need to build alternatives. have ideas. who is in?

There are plenty of alternatives right now. Why not use them?
