I'm just saying they have the experience to run a highly used video sharing site

but that being said

there's no money in YT

I really think there isn't, half the people block ads and advertisers don't like half the content being associated with them

more than you'd think

I just don't think there's enough money to support anything like YT without money from Alphabet

Forgotten Weapons guy uploaded a few vids up there

anything else would be dark web shit to a normal internet users

yes but how does Alphabet make its money?

search

and user info

Even had fun with the tags

exactly, and they get that through youtube aswell

but that's just a source of the data, not a direct making money off of ads

Like it or not, PH had alot of shit before YT added them in

Like video preview

and alphabet is probably the only company that can do that because they own the ad agency

yes but they can use that data for profit

Youtube doesn't make a lot directly

correct

but its information is a valuable asset

so you'd have to have another company that had a secondary revenue source

that would make money off of the primary site

how many of those exist

very very few

oh absolutely, Youtube couldnt survive on its own like this

I'm saying, the chances of a competitor are slim, right now

and any p2p competitor or blockchain etc is just going to be seen as dark web shit to a normal user that goes to YT

i.e. grandma will continue to goto YT

It would need a different business plan atleast

You need the hardware

Its a lot of hardware. We talking petabytes of storage, and supercomputers for handling their video indexing and searching.

And years of development in their search algorithms.

It will take alot of money for a proper competitor to show up.

oh and aritcle 13 will jsut kill that

because now you need new AI

Are they still pushing that? Still not dead?

or block everything

Like NN repeal was everywhere

Botted to high hell.

But not this?

and NN doesn't pose any danger tot he web lol
