    YouTube has a monopoly that is nearly impossible to challenge because of the network effect.

    Sure there are costs but it would be better if as many people as possible would be ready to jump ship to create an alternative

      Competitors would be great but there isn’t another service that comes close to what youtube provides. You’d need it to be worth it for creators to jump ship or at least upload to multiple sites. There hasn’t been any real competition in the space because youtube is so far ahead of everyone else.

        creators to jump ship

        that’s why I said it’s impossible - it the same kind of monopoly Steam has in that it’s impossible for the creators to NOT be on that platform because of the size it has but unlike Steam Youtube has started acting anti-consumer now instead of just anti-creator as in the past
