Twitch tried to implode a few days ago. I'm hoping for YouTube, it's too much of a monopoly.
What did Twitch do?
They were trying to disallow third party ads for streamers https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-65834521.amp
Charlie has a good summary: https://youtu.be/-5zGuFPxW88
They've since walked back a bit, but the writing is now on the wall.
As for YouTube, Odysee exists and has a mirroring for YouTube uploads for content creators, but it's mainly just tech and crypto people at the moment - yes, there's others, but most everyday people have never even heard of LBRY or Odysee.
I tried Odysee but it was overran with conservative etc. content of people who I feel safe to assume got banned off of YouTube.
As annoying as this is, I think we need to all accept that this is the reality with all alternative platforms. It's up to us to outnumber these people.
I haven't seen that personally - for me, that experience was on Rumble. I think that's where a lot went. My experience on Odysee has been largely tech/crypto, DistroTube, The Linux Experiment, Linux and privacy stuff. But I guess everyone's experience varies. I went in subbing to those channels, so maybe I got served more of the same.
