On what grounds? I disagree with Youtube’s actions here, but no one is forcing them to publish on YT.

- Barrin92 7y agoThe competition to youtube is virtually nonexistent. If you're a medium or small content creator (which most youtube creators are), then instead of deciding to go to vimeo you might as well just file for unemployment benefits. And the network effects of youtube will ensure that this continues to be the case. Content creators aren't organised, so a mass exodus won't happen.
- fock 7y agoSo maybe the concept of a medium or small content creator isn't profitable in our current pop-capitalistic system; I guess you are suggesting changing this system, because at the moment this process repeats, what has happened to 1000s of businesses (most recently small farms) in the real world too. Still people elect the ones being paid for by the profiteers very reliably year after year
- gbear605 7y agoYoutube has a monopoly on the online video market. There are other ways to publish but not other ways to get viewers.
