@Sanrasxz Yup, and Twitter was too big to fail.

@baldissara There's not many, but Peertube is one of the better known ones. https://peertube.tv

@artaxadepressedhorse That's a really good point, subs for people who don't use a service all the time are poor value.

The problem with YouTube is that they are one of the most overpriced streaming platforms out there. I imagine any credit system would be the same.

@jinarched Podcasts are good. I consume quite a few on various subjects inc Paranormal, Music, Video Games etc.

Also, I would rather directly donate or subscribe to a creator I enjoy rather than going through YouTube as a middle entity that only feeds them scraps.

@Flatworm7591 Many people will refuse to pay the high price of YouTube Premium or suffer through multiple pre and midroll adverts. It could lead to many abandoning the platform entirely.

I think the way forward is self or federated hosting. The time of YouTube may finally be coming to a close. @neil
