I wonder how that would work. My understanding is running a video site is extremely expensive. Transcoding compute, massive amount of storage, etc. Sure, a few small ones could exist, but enough to replace even a fraction of YouTube’s userbase? I just don’t see how the math works out. I mean, text-based Lemmy and Kbin had slowdowns/outages for months with just tens of thousand of users…
And that’s to say nothing of the copyright hurdles. Imagine people who don’t own the original videos start replicating content from YouTube -> fediverse-style video sites. The lawsuits would crush the new platforms to dust.
Believe me, I’d love to see competition. YouTube has had too much power for too long. It sucks how they treat their content creators, and even their users to some degree. But just like how no one up and starts a new electric power company, there’s a reason big players are entrenched: MASSIVE startup costs.

Bet you anything they’ll extend the EoL for Windows 10
I’m running Windows 11 now since I do a lot of PC gaming. Once you spend half an hour turning off the privacy-invading crap, it’s pretty much still Windows 10.
Whoopie is not going to be happy
People would riot. GOG would have a massive influx of traffic.
Yep. LeetCode medium difficulty puzzles is the de facto / unofficial standard, and even if you’re a pretty good programmer, those are tough to do in a timed 45 minute thing with some stranger watching every character you type :-(
A Siri that doesn’t feel like it’s ~13.5 years old would be nice, especially with the advancements in LLMs. I use Siri daily (timers, alarms, weather check while in bed, etc.) but it feels SO ancient. Can’t even ask it follow-up questions.
What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?
