that would mean they'd have to drop their narcissistic lifestyle and actually do something useful. they need everything to be about them

btw, why Tim doesnt promote subscribe star, i thought they were back to business

**ThreeOfOne#5966** just left the server.

is subscribe star reliable, or are thy going to have their payment processing pulled again in the future?

no one knows what future brings, but i thought they did pay Tim his money and found a new payment processer

yeah, i was wondering if they're in a stable position to promote then without having to worry about it

if u're a threat to monopoly u can never be in a stable position

theres talks and rumors in ios/android circles about alternative app stores

alt tech is on the rise

fascinating stuff

"the desire for" alt tech is on the rise

FTFY

nah, there are some projects and investments and shit

lots of chinese money

going around

project and investments, does not a stable alternative make :(

let me clarify, stuff like youtube is hard to replace, because they aren't profitable, so theres no incentive for big money funding

i'm sure technically it's on the rise, but it can be argued about how significantly

cuz with a losing business model, you either have to have very dedicated/ambitious people to get the ball rolling

or make it open-source, and open source in my experience rarely creates a good final product

what makes u think that utube isnt profitable

scalability

maintenance costs are gonna be a drain compared to what you can get out of it for free

especially if you're not gonna use peoples data like google does

cuz thats their biggest profit margin in youtube,

Your user data, search information

and profit is a big word in that case, cuz youtube bleeds money

Pan-Anglo World Empire when

and i'm not slagging off the potential, all i'm saying is that its effectively mountain-climbing

if they are bleeding, is it a self solving problem then?

depends what you mean with the problem

youtubes dominance and thereby their ability to censor

worst case scenario, google decides youtube is no longer worth it, and stop it entirely, forcing people to flood to alt-tech 😄

but it is a false estimate, youtube itself costs more money than they get out of it

but since its a branch of the google tree, google ultimately GAINS money from youtube cuz they can use that data for their other branches

like how soy and apple are both branches of the faggot-tree 😏 👉 👉

I think youtube is perfectly capable to break even with maintenance and development costs and make a profit on top of that. i don't think it's a big profit, certainly not as big as they want. the major problem is that they dont know how to bring this sweet super bowl ad money and how to compete with game of thrones and shit

arent there like public figures we can look at?

they dont disclose utube figures

when tim goes to the dentist, does he gets a timcast cast

if he streams it, is it a timcast cast cast?

afaik google at one point said youtube is bleeding like 4 billion per year or something

or million

if tim has a couch, it's gross

what if Tim actually shattered his skull

and his beanie is his... Tim CAST

For his biopic movie, there will be a timcast cast too
