Hi! sorry for the random topic 😅

Youtube keeps getting more and more annoying. Is there a good other platform where to migrate? If people were to migrate, where would they go?

the thing I liked about youtube is the massive amount of content, and knowing that if I upload a video, it's really easy to watch by others. I like the ability to follow channels too.

Not a fan of how corporatized it has been getting.

I want to see these platforms try make money. It's a video hosting platform. It needs to be sustainable.

Yeah, this is why Twitch and YouTube are still really the only competitors in their space (let's be real, Kick is dead in 2 years)

Google willing to run at a loss to dominate the space is the reason there are no other video hosting sites.

This tactic is used too much in business. It's a bullying tactic, since it's artificial growth, and it results in a monopoly.
