Don't be so pessimistic. There are still plenty of resources and places to discuss whatever you want. Youtube is like that big commercial avenue in the city, where you can only see mainstream stuff. If you look for the bookstore that has hacking/engineering/pyscology books, you'll have to go elsewhere. But it has always been this way.

there's plenty of niche content that finds its home on YouTube. It's as if the commercial avenue was infinitely large and could contain every shop you could wish for.

  You have to leave the avenue for porn. Pornhub has good enough porn, can find something for most any niche. Soon you’ll find though, if you’re really into this or that, individual studios that cater to your niche create videos with high production value that are all around better than what you dig up on pornhub. There are marketplaces for small studios like clips4sale.com (nsfw). Also aggregators for specific niches / topics, etc. Maybe anti-YouTube people can look to porn for the way out?

    You have to know what you're looking for, which I think is traditionally the biggest hurtle.

YouTube used to be that place.... I remember it, I want that YouTube Back... YouTube did not become popular with "mainstream stuff" if I wanted "mainstream stuff" I would still be a cable TV Subscriber YouTube promoting only "mainstream stuff" like CBS, and CNN will kill YouTube

  YouTube got popular with mainstream TV shows and movies. Then after it won all the market share with that content, Google bought it and turned it legit.

    No that is not what made YouTube Popular at all I have never once watched a mainstream TV show or Movie on the platform.

    Yeah that's utterly wrong, YouTube got popular because it was the best platform to upload any video and find and watch any video. Then music got big on youtube. Right now they are trying to go into movies, not sure how it will work out for them.

  > CNN will kill youtube Given CNN'S dwindling ratings I sincerely doubt that. If anything youtube needs to rescue them.
