Ad-free content really is possible, and Amazon is showing us how to do it. (Despite the fact that they themselves host ads.) Amazon (however unlikely) could viably come out with an ad-free YouTube competitor, backed by Prime subscription dollars. As long as the costs are in order they could let it stew for a decade while it slowly pulls users away from other platforms. Heck Netflix could do the same thing, although they seem to be drawn towards ads, sadly. X.com would probably love to do something similar, but they don't have enough services to match the value of Prime.

> Ad-free content really is possible, and Amazon is showing us how to do it. I’m not sure I understand. Amazon Video requires a paid subscription, by that logic YouTube also has ad-free content (if you pay for Premium). Not to mention, Prime Video is introducing ads next year unless you pay an extra ad-free fee.[1] 1: https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/prime-video-update-announces-limited-ads https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/prime-video-u...
