We’re not on YouTube because of the companie or its service, but for the people who create content on that platform. The problem is there isn’t a viable alternative for either creator or consumer, which basically makes YouTube a monopoly.

What i mean that there a lot of interesting alternative on the internet, not necessarily in video format (which is often very time consuming/inefficient with respect to the actual content/time ratio).

Floatplane, CuriosityStream or Nebula or whaever, lots of channels have the same videos on their Patreon. why don’t you use those?

oh right because they are paid services and you don’t want that

As much as I disagree with idea people are entitled to use youtube without compensation, you’re strawmanning them. This isn’t productive.

I actually do use some of those. Having said that, it’s not jus the consumers who have to use the alternatives, but also the creators. Like I said people are on YouTube for the content creators, not for YouTube itself. And the consumerbase on those alternatives is just too small to make them a VIABLE alternative. Hence why you see so many creators on nebula also on YouTube.
