I'm a little tired of all this creators complaining how broken is Youtube (and other platforms) and still investing lot of their time and effort in building channels, accounts and entire businesses relying on these platforms.
- jobigoud 8y agoThat's just what monopolies look like I think. For them moving to another platform doesn't make sense because they wouldn't get the same reach/make enough to justify the time and effort put into their channel in the first place. So it's either they are on YouTube and complain of its faults, or they aren't anywhere and you don't hear about them.
- ric2b 8y agoThere's a third option that makes the most sense: Be on multiple platforms at once. There's minimal effort in uploading to multiple sites, making the video is what takes multiple hours/days.
- Faark 8y agoUntil the platforms push exclusivity contracts... I do remember a twitch streamer being happy about his contract being old enough to allow him streaming on youtube while temporarily being banned on twitch. Sure, you can fault the individual for signing something like that, but an effective monopoly will hardly leave you an other choice.
- warp_factor 8y agoExactly. Which I don't understand why most of them are not doing. I would put my videos on as many platforms as possible, and try to convince people to move eventually to my own platform that I fully control.
