    Yeah, but that one is replaceable if people want too.

      Everything is replaceable if people want to. The problem is the inertia it takes to substitute it

        YouTube is really hard to replace without the money of a multi billion company.

        Video is hard and attracting creators is even harder.

          So is a good search engine. As much as I love DuckDuckGo and daily drive it the results are much worse than google’s

            No, you can switch to a different search engine right now and the results will be perfectly fine. I use DDG exclusively.

            What video platform can you switch to that has even remotely close to the amount of content as YouTube? (Pornhub doesn’t count)

              Twitch, but that comes with its own problems.

                It’s also different as there only a few privileged channels get to keep their content forever. A lot of channels can only keep it for 2 weeks or 2 months based on their status, and a lot of creators upload their content to youtube to keep it for longer
