> Competitors have always existed. They existed before YT got big, still exist, and new competitors have been created since. Point is, for now Google has and have had for over a decade, a bottomless source of funding. So they pushed YouTube as a free quality product for over a decade until every viable competitor was dead or irrelevant. And now they can do whatever they want: - awful moderation - censoring - remove downvotes for everyone just because their video was downvoted - show 11 ads in a row - etc I used to like Google a lot. A year ago I voluntarily dropped out of interviews with them after the first interview. I don't want to work at such a place. As an ordinary guy who used to be poor I'm not sure I'd even be safe or fit in there. When I was young I didn't understand why anti-dumping laws existed and why EU enforced them harshly. Today I wish they did against such abusers.
