Well, obviously, someone should have asked Veranda if she was OK with that.

That comments section is such a dumpster fire of what I hope are bots and not actual human beings... Because damn, otherwise, Giant Meteor 2024
I understand your first point, that its frustrating for something thats always been free with limited to no ads to change its model.
The thing I want to know though is, YouTube costs a shit ton in terms of infrastructure and development hours, do you have a suggestion on how they can host the public and private content they host and deliver hundreds of petabytes a day while turning a profit? Do you stop user uploads, delete channels that have been inactive for a decade, delete private videos of non-subscribers?
Inb4 well they shouldnt exist because thats not how they formed tired argument ive seen, then my question is, ok so lets say we're thinking up a YouTube replacement. How do we model it so the company makes money, people arent the product, i can upload what I want, watch it for free without ads, people who draw others to the platform make money too, ect... What gets cut?
Edit: Because I don't have a suggestion and I dont think its possible to get anything like the old YouTube we all loved without making major consessions, otherwise I think we'd have more than a handful of compeitors.
I should take some time and find another redirect for http://notreddit.com
