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?
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
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:
- Veritasium
- 3Blue1Brown
- Undecided with Matt Ferrell
- Bright Sun Films
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.
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.
Nebula is making good inroads. It’s well positioned to (eventually) make a shift from “YouTube parasite” to “YouTube alternative”.
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”.
