People open YouTube to feed their hunger for content with whatever they find. If a creator leaves, then they just have to switch to content from one of the 10 other channels that are similar. It’s a low friction, low loyalty world.
And from my experience, people overwhelmingly watch YouTube on phones or tablets, and wouldn’t be messing around with anything like BitTorrent. If you think that is a good alternative, then you are not representative of the average YouTube user.
- t-3 4y ago> you are not representative of the average YouTube user. Yeah, probably not, as I never visit the site except through links or if I need a how-to-repair video. There's no reason people can't consume video through torrent or other p2p tech though. Webtorrents, peertube, etc are relatively mainstream and completely painless to use. There also exist torrent clients on Android for maaany years.
