Isn't Linus Sebastian's Floatplane thing supposed to be along those lines?

The only real competitors would need backing from a huge tech company like Facebook or Apple. Either way we're gonna be stuck with anti consumer shit.

It's too late for that. Google owns YouTube. Google is the most used search engine by far and Google results will favor YouTube videos over others. They can easily phase out the competition just from the amount of control that combo brings.

I don't know if this has changed in recent years but back in the early 2010s I read that YouTube was not profitable at all, perhaps that's why no one has tried competing yet.

Vimeo is intentionally haughty and "professional".
Dailymotion is better option, or maybe one of those obscure Russian sites that totally aren't dogpiled full of porn.

Archive.org and newgrounds are strangely becoming relevant here, as well.

I think that is literally impossible.

Youtube is so damn giant I am not sure how anyone can rival them. The sheer amount of content uploaded every minute is magnitudes beyond staggering.

Then you gotta deal with load balancing and bandwidth and shit, and maybe even have to hook in a CDN.
Video hosting sucks when you do it yourself.

This.

It would have to be some company who is super rich and willing to play a real long game and execute it flawlessly. Maybe someone willing to spend an absurd amount and be in the red for years could lure away enough youtube creators with big paydays up front to eventually compete and maybe win... but who on earth is gonna be willing to spend that much, lose money for a long time, and have no guarantee of success?

That's why Vimeo has the "photobucket" model, but without the assholery of suddenly switching to it. It's always been crappy until you pay.

Gotta love how the algorithm wont suggest something slightly risque to people but will go apeshit promoting conspiracy and blatant racist bullshit.

Doesn't Youtube operate at a loss or barely breaks even?

The purpose of Youtube is to collect as much data as possible. I doubt another company would be willing to compete.

Unless the people over at TikTok come up with something

I thought YouTube operates at a loss and google only keep it around because they love the metrics/data and it would hurt advertisers (their primary customers) if they pulled the plug

so there will never be a competitor to YouTube

maybe Elon musk could do it
