they could monetize differently, without ads. let creators monetize it like patreon tiers and let users make proportional donations to their favourite creators through a flattr-like system. take the ads out and a place like youtube only need like 5 guys to run.
- ok_dad 3y agoThat is such a simplistic view, I don’t even know where to start with it. First, your final paragraph is faulty, five guys (insert overpriced burger joke) is not sufficient for running “YouTube without ads”. Second, how do people afford that if they have no disposable income? YouTube is unique in that it’s used for a lot of educational purposes; not just in school but people use it to learn how to tie a tie or do woodworking. Thanks for trying, but there isn’t a two step solution for everything.
- Probiotic6081 3y agoof course they'd also need lawyers, content moderators and stuff like that. but they should just copy the files to a new server, run elasticsearch on it and give it a clean UI.
