true, but they wouldn't want to cut themselves off from a popular way of getting content. instead they will probably strike deals with creators. and thats fine

you guys are missing a lot of points on that idea

by all means, poke holes

videos without the community aren't worth much

how would you handle the comments, likes, etc?

its an upload tool, the videos will stay on the site

in theory, can add that into the tool

or that

if there's a content ID on one site, would you remove the video from everywhere and reupload?

what do you mean by that?

I mean, your video gets claimed on youtube

also, the comments would probably stay local to the video (i.e. on the host site) but can be made visible from one location for the content maker

would you change the video and reupload only to youtube?

well, you should always allowed customization.

so, say maybe you have several sites, but the video you made doesn't work with ToS of a few of them.

checkmark button for which sites you want to upload to at that time 😄

you wouldn't want to upload. to those sites. so this is always a possibility of individual upload.

uncheck those that don't need a re-upload

you can make an ID for the video internal to the tool, so it can keep track of all the different copies

need to reupload or edit? select which sites to do that for, and have the logic for the best method for those sites built into the tool

you do understand the lower value of having the community segregated across multiple sites, right?

they already are on different sites

most area already on youtube and twitter

I only use youtube, I would risk and say 90%+ of people are also there

true, but its never a good idea to only have 1 site

anything outside of youtube is irrelevant

it doesn't matter if 90% of the traffic comes from one site. because if that site changes, that 90% could go away. if you have a back up, then you stand a good chance to get back that lost crowd

that is the problem this is aiming at

there's no platform that will be able to compete with youtube in the near future

no matter what tool you make, that won't change

sure it will, if youtube keeps shooting itself in the foot

there will be a rise of aggregators, but not of platforms

if there is no other platforms, then how can there a raise of aggregators?

the video content will still be from YT

@Grenade123 No one can compete with YT, It runs at a massive loss. The only way to take a share of the market would be for Amazon or such like to get involed.

so then the site serves no purpose

you make a site that tells people to go to youtube

why

>aggregator

to FIND what they want to watch
