Yes, and you choose to risk losing the most important platform to humanity next to Wikipedia. Youtube should be a public service. | ||

I am dubious about the importance of Youtube. If it disappeared tomorrow how long would it take for most videos to reappear elsewhere? Some of the creators I watch do have the videos available elsewhere. Veritasium is on Odysee, lots of people are on Nebula (and release videos there that are not on Youtube), etc. I think there is a good argument that having a single dominant platform has been harmful. | ||

Insane hyperbole here, this guy's adblock = risking humanity losing it's 2nd most important platform owned by one of the most profitable companies in the world OpenAI thought of it first, should YouTube get a government backstop too? | ||

Let’s not get too hasty comparing YouTube to Wikipedia. Maybe what you watch on YouTube is interesting and educational, but let’s not forget it’s also a major platform for misinformation, propaganda, conspiracy theories, radicalisation, scams… | ||

YouTube wouldn't exist as a public service. there would be no incentive to make videos | ||
