Btw, YouTube is owned by Google.
PeerTube might be a better idea. It's part of the Fediverse.
Just saying.
It is a kind of war, and video hosting is territory still owned by the megacorps. It's just something where their resources are very needed.
It is. Video storage and streaming are very expensive. I don't think YouTube is even making a profit.
If they are, then only because of their pretty aggressive monetization. Regardless, a monopoly like YouTube is still worth a lot, even if just for how it influences the thoughts and opinions of people.
I don't see how resources of that scale could be financed with only donations, and without subscription models and heavy advertising. Maybe the creators could be asked to pay for the platform too, but let's not give them ideas.
Regarding video platforms, the status quo is preferable for me. YouTube offers a large amount of content and convenience, and the anti features like advertisement and enshittification are not yet too bad and can be blocked with technology.
I agree. I think YouTube is a necessary evil for now, even if It's a huge monopoly.
Over time, I assume resources should become cheaper and easier to manage/use. Making it easier for competitors or decentralization.
