    Cynically, it won’t kill youtube, either. There are no alternatives. They have a lot of leverage to shittify it.

      And a lot of users who just doesn’t care enough to do anything drastic about it. We already saw it with reddit, and twitter to a point. The userbase on the internet is so huge now that the people actually being aware and caring about privacy and non-commercialisation are a tiny minority. Companies can easily still make a profit on the vast majority of people who will uncritically consume.

      The paradox of the internet is that people want everything:

      • in one place
      • free of charge
      • anonymous

      but don’t want everything:

      • owned by one company
      • supported by ads
      • full of toxic assholes
