Sorry for the late reply, forgot about this thread.

because no other platform is as good as doing what youtube does. youtube is the top platform for a reason and most people don't have a problem with it

Absolutely. YT is the best at what it does. It is easily the worst at how it treats its content creators though. Then again, there aren't many (if any) alternatives big enough to compete with YT. So it might be more correct to say they've become the worst at content creator treatment full-stop.

While most viewers may not have a problem with YouTube, content creators; who have made YT the big company it is today, definitely have a problem with getting the short-end of the stick.

it would have to take youtube doing something seriously wrong to forget over a large majority of people who've been satistified with it thus far

On a viewer level, yes. On a content creator level, this has already happened. Problem is, there is nowhere else to turn if the content creators want to keep their developed following on another platform. Because no other platform is popular enough to make it an easy migration. Leaving them (more or less) no choice but to stick it out on YouTube and hope a change for the better occurs at some point.

I wouldn't be too surprised if most people (both viewers and content creators) were satisfied with YT in the past (even with previous quirks). But now? Viewers haven't been majorly affected in any way (that I know of), but smaller content creators who needed the monetization to do YT full-time are in big trouble. Especially now that YT's algorithm chooses what videos to show in front of people (more of this is explained in the link in my previous reply to you).

except it was a startup in the middle of nowhere that became popular because people found it better than the other alternatives

True. However, it's now at the point where it can afford to treat it's content creators (the people who got YT to where it is now) poorly. Because the alternatives (undeniably) can't compete.

this is such loving bullstuff. there are alternatives, but they aren't popular

From a content creator perspective, YT is the only viable option. No other platform is big enough to give you the opportunity to make it big like YT.

when i say "no one" i'm talking about the market. if the market doesn't have any need for a competitor a competitor won't be successful. this is basic economics

The market (viewers) may not. But the creators certainly do. Just look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMe0w3_16_g (NSFW warning).

noone goes to loving vidme or whatever because most people don't see a need to. there's no incentive. you can't forcibly relocate a market because master matthew on the blockland forums can't distinguish between coercive and non-coercive monopolies

From a viewer's standpoint, you're right that there's no incentive. Don't know what it would take for people to gain interest in a different platform, but it would have to knock the socks off YT somehow.

Thinking of all the single people this Valentines day makes me think of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upnrXooMh4s

I don't have a girlfriend or anything but I'm going to order my good friend a vday pizza and get drunk over video chat with her. So I guess I've got a valentine.

I beg of you, tell us how it went..... it sounds utterly hilarious.

Its more like the movie equivalent of reskinning a game and selling it 15 times under different names and textures.

Every Minecraft rip off that exists then.

Seems like Illumination Entertainment went to the Ice Age School of making franchises live past their shelf life.

Except this one expired the moment it was conceived.

The new model of the classic Charger looks good, just holy stuff the tires are wayyyyy to thick and the rims are wayyyyyy too small, it looks so off

Do you mean the thickness of the sidewalls? Or do you mean the width of the tires?

The Demon doesn't have a carbon spoiler or splitter (it'd be cool if it did though).

This is a small representation of carbon fiber would look like on the front splitter (on what is admittedly a "regular" Hellcat).
