    I don’t think anything will ever replace YouTube. Did you ever wonder why there aren’t many good alternatives?

    It’s because video streaming websites are very expensive and usually run at a loss. The storage and bandwidth to support all these users constantly uploading and watching videos is really high. It’s why the Twitch competitor Mixer shut down a few years ago, it was bleeding money.

    I use an adblocker and hate ads as much as the next person but imo prople do take these video services for granted. They need ads to survive and I can’t imagine a world where I’d need to pay a subscription to use them.
