I get why people are doubtful about Musk. I just wanna see YouTube's monopoly broken and streamers/entertainers get their due. I do not like how YouTube treats content creators. Maybe a competitive alternative is a good thing.

especially since the closest competitor rn is twitch which is an absolute shithole

As someone less familiar with twitch, what's making it a shithole?

~~elon musk purchased it and laid off a ton of staff over time, leading twitter to be very poorly moderated and also have many technical glitches after that~~

edit: oops I'm an idiot. I thought that said twitter.

Twitch is owned by Amazon, Twitter is owned by Musk.
