I prefer "list" view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.
How is it that such a shitty site/corporation has continued to maintain a grip on this market? Why aren't we inundated with viable alternatives?
Hosting video is expensive?
That's basically it. The only potential competitor is Twitch, but even then Amazon only really gets into free streaming content.
Google has cheap hosting costs and the best ad market in the industry. The only non-porn competitors either charge the uploader to host or charge the user to watch.
Yeah. Everyone thinks it's easy to just "setup a YouTube".
I support nebula which is a subscription service with some good creators. And because "fuck shorts and clickbait titles/thumbnails".
Being free is a huge part of it too. For better and worse.
Nebula is making good inroads. It’s well positioned to (eventually) make a shift from “YouTube parasite” to “YouTube alternative”.
I don't see it as YouTube parasite so much as the next step up for creators on the monetization chain.
I’m not saying it being a YouTube parasite is a BAD thing. But as long as it’s primarily getting it’s views from people who started watching on YouTube first, “parasite” is an apt description.
Week by week it becomes more and more enticing. Most creators I watch are on it as well so I wouldn't really lose much.
Also fighting copyright claims from the music and movie industry is even more expensive and difficult.
Microsoft (with their Azure) has more than enough storage space. They got CDNs and video streaming technologies (that anyone can use in their own products). But they've still given up their own music streaming service and public video upload service.
Well it doesn't hurt that they have some of the fastest servers on the planet running everything, and boatloads of data centers for storage and backups. Have you ever noticed how rarely videos will buffer nowadays? Even at extremely high resolution their videos will load almost instantly on only an average internet connection. A lot of other places can't say the same, because it takes a very big investment to have world class servers and data connections.
Peertube works.
there's peertube and odyssey but idk how viable either of them are long term. peertube at least is decentralized, not sure if odyssey is too or not
i know Louis Rossmann also posts on Odyssey
You mean "Odysee," I guess?
...Hey, browsing the "Home" and "Featured" categories, there are a couple of other Youtubers I recognize! Not many, but a few:
I agree that becoming too associated with nazi trolls (which are uniquely a problem in a way that even other sorts of extremists are not, because of the paradox of tolerance) is a huge danger to nascent platforms. I'm not sure what to do about it either, except maybe to continue trying to promote the platforms even despite the risk of offending them in hopes that they can grow faster than they lose reputation. And in the case of Peertube, defederating from instances hosting hateful content, I guess.
By the way, this...
...is actually an understatement. What they're actually doing is engaging in the equivalent of blood libel and trying to incite a pogrom.
Because it has all the good content. The creators are what makes watching YouTube so fun, not the site itself.
