No one wants to be a competitor. People are so deluded on this topic that they cannot even think straight.
No one wants to watch ads.
No one wants to pay a subscription.
Those two things are factually true, and why youtube sucks, why it has no competitors, and why the future looks bad for it.
Vid.me ran an experiment a few years ago and made a serious push to upend youtube. They had great success and it really took off. But eventually they went bankrupt and closed shop. Why?
No one wants to watch ads.
No one wants to pay a subscription.
