Who is going to be competing for the eyeballs of people who militantly refuse to watch ads? I'd love to see YouTube have competition, but I don't think the demographic here is particularly valuable to anyone.

Same with lemmy. Who cares about us? Seems to be working somewhat tho.

Issue with videohosting is filesizes, bandwiths, and the gigantic archive.

That's why I said surprising competition: no, it wouldn't be from a big typical tech company.

I think you're wrong on the value of the demographic: there are definitely ways, sectors etc where a small group of relatively tech savvy, ad-hating, very critical, neckbearded, moob carrying people is more valuable than a large mob of typical yay-saying consumers. I'ld even say it's the kind of niche demographic that made reddit big in the first place.
