    Exactly, I had people tell me that we should support YouTube, because it costs money and if we don’t it will disappear.

    I would celebrate the day it would happen, YouTube is actually the reason we don’t have much competition there. They used their position and Google monopoly in other areas to establish this monopoly.

      There’s creators out there running a non YouTube channel in parallel, mostly on Odysee. Good to see an alternative out there.
