I prefer “list” view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

    That’s basically it. The only potential competitor is Twitch, but even then Amazon only really gets into free streaming content.

    Google has cheap hosting costs and the best ad market in the industry. The only non-porn competitors either charge the uploader to host or charge the user to watch.

      Yeah. Everyone thinks it’s easy to just “setup a YouTube”.

      I support nebula which is a subscription service with some good creators. And because “fuck shorts and clickbait titles/thumbnails”.

      Nebula is making good inroads. It’s well positioned to (eventually) make a shift from “YouTube parasite” to “YouTube alternative”.

          I’m not saying it being a YouTube parasite is a BAD thing. But as long as it’s primarily getting it’s views from people who started watching on YouTube first, “parasite” is an apt description.
