  I feel like with the storage space and bandwidth needed for something like that that anyone with the money to start a true competitor would probably just be another mammoth tech company we all hate just as much :(

    Yes, it would have to be something similar to the fediverse, but somehow able to host thousands of UHD Videos lol. Maybe creators can seed torrents of their content and pray to Ramen for donations/subscriptions.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  If they can’t make money with almost a monopoly and Google adsense why would a competitor do any better? Maybe if a competitor would just charge a hosting fee to the content creator and let them worry about making money. Some hobbyists wouldn’t mind be paying for things while dipshit “Personalities” get a wakeup call, win/win

  Anyone who’s considered it has gotten their start by hosting content that YouTube won’t, and as a consequence devolve into right wing nightmare scapes pretty quickly.

  See BitChute for an example. Probably best known for Reddit blocking the entire domain when they refused to take down the video of the Christchurch shooting and the Facebook video that the shooter claimed inspired him (one posted by Otago Muslim Association titled “Very interesting video. Only for Muslims. Please do not redistribute.”).
