Doubtful that it will kill it. But if it can jumpstart some alternatives and normalize video hosting outside of YouTube, we'll get a healthier market of options for watching videos. Like you, I probably watch a single-digit number of videos per month on YouTube. But there's no other option for the folks who I follow, who are simply following the path of least resistance to "get people to watch my videos on the internet." Paying for YouTube Premium isn't even a real option for me because I'd end up paying multiple dollars per video based on my viewing habits. Strange that YouTube seems to want to incentivize heavy viewership per user, even for paid accounts -- I suppose that tells you that the user data is actually the most valuable part of your account!
