YouTube sucks just as much as twitter.
Yes but where else is a big audience and you can get paid without your fans directly paying you ?
YouTube has unsustainable model and that is working right now, they will need to turn a profit. Same for twitter.
Fun fact, a lot of people don't know that Google (and by extension, youtube) has a strong far-right bias. I remember having to look up a meme so I went into incognito and the second video on their front page was literal nazi propaganda downplaying the Palestinian genocide.
But if that isn't enough for you, they literally got sued for protecting MULTIPLE pedophiles while they were grooming kids on their platform!! They knew what was happening and not only allowed it to happen but actively went out of their way to protect them. Multiple times. Holy shit.
