    Too bad that YT, regarding content offer, lacks valid competitors and this position can lead to abuse in front of the user.

    It’s the same as any other platform - the network effect. People are more likely to produce content for youtube because thats where the users are.

    That said, it’s easier for content creators to support alternatives because unlike social media where everyone is a creator video content producers have a creator > follower relationship, so there’s almost no cost to them to upload the same content on other sites.

    I subscribed to nebula a while back. There’s not heaps of content, and all (ok almost all) of it is available for free on youtube. However, I’m happy to pay provided that most of the revenue is going to creators, and I’m happy to support a non-advertising-revenue model.
