nah its too late honestly, if big tech didn't want or care to make competing platform

how can you expect company that has less resource make an alternative ???? I still remember when microsoft throwing money to make mixer (twitch alternative) and yet it failed miserably

tiktok is close as we can get honestly, but youtube also expand toward shorts

Pretty sure Microsoft also tried to compete with Youtube once upon a time. Forgot the name...

Soapbox was their competitor way way back. More recently they had Mixer, though that was more of a Twitch like service. They spent a ton of money paying streamers to use it, but the network effects are just too strong.

		People have to be sufficiently discontent with the current offering. It's like game publishers throwing money at buying exclusives for their game stores. People have to not like Steam first.
