Unity announced a new fee structure today, and developers are none too happy. “We are introducing a Unity Runtime Fee that is based upon each time a qualifying game is downloaded by an end user,” the company wrote in a blog post announcing the change.
Why would that be? If h265 is anything to go by, MPEG will probably charge an arm and a leg for h266, and the entire industry will pivot away from MPEG and move to AV2. I’m not even sure YouTube will ever implement h266
As soon as AV2/H.266 becomes standard, i’d say Youtube would be at risk.
Edit: Added AV2 to my comment.
How would that make youtube worse?

Why do we need h.266 for that? (Looking at PeerTube)
