Content creators have my respect and sympathy, but it’s not my fault that they use a platform owned by a terrible company. I’m not going to charge my behavior to make YouTube/Google happy.
It still baffles me that more services don't exist/be used for automatic cross posting to different video services. Even if YouTube is the only feasible option for viewers right now, that's not going to change unless people put in some minimal effort.
It was tried multiple times.
So far every company went out of business because the amount of content uploaded and the cost to store and distribute is not matched by the amount ofdollars from users, premium users and ads.
Google operated Youtube as a loss project but kept it going for the data and market grip.
