- ekianjo 5y agonot a monopoly on paper, but a monopoly in terms of reach. When 99% of videos seen on the web are from youtube, can you pretend it's not akin to some kind of monopoly?

- scarface74 5y agoSo because you can’t afford something, that means it’s the responsibility of another private party to publish your video for free? If you think it is a right that people should have, talk to your representative and get the government to create GovTube where anyone can post any type of conspiracy crap they desire.

- scarface74 5y agoSure it has “reach”. Any user can go to any website. It’s up to the publisher to market it. It’s not like there isn’t plenty of right wing media that wouldn’t be glad to accept the advertising.
