      There was a time Youtube videos would only be seen by 11 people. But it grew because people posted videos anyway.

        Honestly? If anyone could make a rival for YouTube it would be a big porn hosting site.

        The infrastructure is already there. Just need to buy another domain and throw money at it.

          So for what, 100 million people vs 8 billion, it’s a problem.

          I’ll take that.

          no one cares about the plights of those living in backwater stone age dictatorships. the modern world must move forward on its own.

          we Americans have to get used to being left behind and left out of conversations by real adults now.

          I don’t care if anything I’ve ever posted is blocked in 50 states. Americans assume they are the center of the world.

      A little ironic that this comment posted on Lemmy (tiny competitor to reddit)

      Viewers go where the content is, yes, but you don’t get content on alternative sites if you don’t post there.

      YouTube in the old days was awesome. Then Google happened to it. When it first started it was quite small.

      Principles matter!
