If this is true then explain how YouTube has any talent left since they have almost all been universally bitching and moaning post-"Adpocalypse" and yet continue to use YouTube as their platform.
If it were so easy to move off of YouTube, these many "creators" would have already banded together to create something new, backed by VC funding based on their "star-power". But this hasn't happened.
Making a YouTube clone is easy, making a YouTube clone that isn't a sinkhole that just eats millions and millions of dollars is hard.
- hmokya 9y agoNo VC is insane enough to go into direct competition with YouTube. If a company such as amazon decided it was time I’m sure you would see a lot of creators move over.
- jackvalentine 9y agoI’m really interested in the future of twitch in that regard.
- nailer 9y agoMe too. But what happened to Vimeo as a YouTube alternative?
- jackvalentine 9y agoI don’t think they ever really pitched themselves as that. The website and app design is more cerebral than YouTube hype man.
