I know a few people who are buildling some
But they'll never get as popular as youtube streaming or twitch
This is the world we live in
Just wait, I suspect this will start happening in Discord soon
Gradually
The problem is
Youtube has never made a profit.
Yeah
And they're the POPULAR one
So.. no video platform that competes, can do better than youtube.
No profit for anyone.
That's a big problem. The ones who ARE making money are less popular, e.g. dailymotion, vimeo are not popular
There are actually some really poplular youtube clones out there
I'm part of one with 10,000 users
Google is like "HEYY WE'RE NOT EVEN MAKING MONEY OFF THIS SO BE GRATEFUL."
Oh man
dox'd
lel
look at him
trying to avoid the camera
Camerashy, are ya
sneaky sneaky
lol
I wish I could livestream on yt
that would be cool
But I can only do it on Twitch (not that my internet connection allows more than 5fps)
I think youtube really SHOULD be a public utility. Given that they make no money off it.
ye
It should be like PBS
Do they REALLY make no money from it? I've heard that said a lot, but find it very hard to believe
I have no idea what I'm talking about.
And yes. No money.
It's too expensive.
Like does that just take into account ad revenue?
Or data collection as well?
Well, hosting the videos costs something too.
YT loses money on average every year
I'm not sure if they've ever made a profit
Sure, but to just look at how much revenue they make doesn't get the full picture on actual profit
