I’m still surprised what platforms make money WITH the content that USERS make , charge or restrict USERS view. It’s kinda crazy model that people accepted for so many years. For one side this is good because it will make users to reconsider what they do and how they corporations make money from it. Google money model has a date of death.
Those platform exist because the Web is utterly terrible when it comes to discovering content and monetizing it. "Google-bad" is easy to say, but I have yet to see a real alternative.
Google Videos was an alternative to Youtube in the early days, but since Google is too greedy to invest in innovation, it just buys it's competitors, so we don't see them unless we consider community alternatives that can't be bought by Alphabet like Peertube.
