I already covered those points in my previous comments: 500 hours uploaded per minute, more videos = more money needed to host them. I can't dumb it down further, sorry
What if, and bare with me man I know this is complicated shit, you spread those out a little bit? You know, like it was before Google exterminated independent platforms? I promise you 490 hours of those 500 hours uploaded sits at 3 views for eternity.
YouTube was convenient and free before Google bought it, and that's why we all congregated here. Google then used that power to entrench themselves and now it's YouTube or nothing. If YouTube is too expensive to host, so be it. Let it die. It's the internet, someone will make a better version that's completely free. Peertube already exists and is scalable.
the 3 views dont matter youtube has to HOST it, STORE it somewhere, STORAGE costs money oh my god. Youtube was free when they didnt have to store 500 hours of video per minute and if you dont care if youtube dies why do you care if they ask for money, just dont use it?? and yes someone will make a free youtube and host 500 hours per minute for free I hope u dont actually believe this and youre trolling bro
Good luck
With what, creating free youtube?
