YouTube recommendations are a huge source of traffic for creators. Even if they could move all of their subscribers to another platform they would be losing a ton of traffic (and therefore ad revenue). I think this discovery is the biggest difficulty in making a YouTube competitor.
- nirui 3y agoDiscovery has different modes, plus, it's not something only YouTube can have. That's to say, it would work for YouTube, but only to a point. Plus, the recommendations engine itself is a limitation. I been using YouTube for years before knowing the existence of YouTubers such as Casey Neistat, Mr Beast and SomeOrdinaryGamers. Even through they are popular and talked the topic that I'm interested in, YouTube never pushed them to me, instead, I manually discovered them through the trending page, what an irony.
