So a few ideas...
1) YouTube alternatives already exist (Libry, PeerTube, DTube, etc.)
2) It should be possible to clone as much content from YouTube as possible using the last version of YouTube-DL while it still works
3) We can migrate the content off a platform that wishes to make it impossible to share and remix work and put it on a decentralized model that does. Even better are platforms which allow you to download it directly without the need for hack tools.
I think the future is simply getting enough people to use the existing alternatives and contribute to them.

- blitblitblit 6y agoRight you can move all non-RIAA content to an open platform. Or if someone wants to live dangerously setting up a PeerTube instance outside of RIAA jurisdiction would work just as well.
