At the end of the day, I'd guess this is less about alternatives and more about youtube being the best platform for your investment. Hosting isn't the problem, its the audience and traffic (and ad monetization from your vids.)
Do the alternatives hold up in terms of things like market reach, $ performance, and not banning the same users?
- freebuju 6y agoIf Youtube was to go away today, do the guys who upload videos on this platform stop being content creators? This is myth I want to dispell. Now to answer your question. Yes, it will be tough and disruptive should you start distributing your content through other alternatives if you were using youtube as your only vehicle. But similar issues were faced by other content creators such as musicians, journalists when the streaming era started disrupting their vehicles. They adapted. Don't see why video content creators shouldn't be able to find the same flexibility and continue to thrive. Youtube by itself with no content does not have anything to sell. Infact, relying only on a single platform can be dangerous for creators since we've seen some of them being booted off by AI. No human explanations. Audience, traffic, monetization, reach are all market problems. They will exist whether Youtube is there or not.
