youtube replacements have been tried countless times, but none of them work
google is just too loving big on the web that youtube will remain the most popular way to share videos until google stops hosting it

plus the layout on vidme loving sucks, i'd rather use dailymotion

shame google cant rework youtube, everything's forgeted on that website

Even if Vidme becomes this bastion of unmoderated speech like you're suggesting, here's what's going to happen:
Vidme gets a reputation for this. Only people who actually give a stuff about what you're complaining about (i.e. people on the alt-right) are charged enough to make a jump as significant as this. Youtube is one of very few places where you can make a career out of content creation, and you'd have to be really politically motivated to put so much on the line like that. If you're that politically motivated, your fans will probably align with your politics very much as well. As voat is to reddit, vidme would be to youtube.

Then advertisers wouldn't touch Vidme with a twenty foot pole, because of this reputation. It would either shrivel up or maybe be sustained by financial help from users of the website.

My question is, what has Youtube done specifically to JonTron/PewDiePie? I was under the impression that PewDiePie was dropped by Maker, and all of the backlash against JonTron has been by individuals, not Youtube. I'd be glad to see both of them go honestly but I'm having trouble understanding the reasoning.

Does anyone even give a stuff about gradeA anymore? He wasn't even the largest channel covering youtube drama nonstop

No content = No viewers
No viewers = No content

In other words no content creators are going to the come to the site because there aren't any viewers and no viewers are going to come to the site because there aren't any content creators. Youtube has its own issues, but other video streaming sites have their own issues too if not more. Not to mention Youtube is far too cemented and established for everybody to just suddenly move to another place.

It seems the only motivation for moving over is political american stuff.
I think I'll stay.

this looks like a clickbait article youd seee on facebook
GOODBYE YOUTUBE

Thats what people said about
MySpace
Atari
Nintendo
RCAA
AOL
NetScape
Vine

There is no such thing as too big to fail.
nintendo? what? i understand it has competition now of course but it certainly hasn't failed

I've been a verified creator on vid.me for a while now.

It's a pretty neat site and I'm using especially as a backup in the likely event youtube does some stupid stuff and pulls one down, I'll always have a place to stream it from.

yeahhhhhh im gon go head and keep on forgetin wit youtube

Thats what people said about
MySpace
Atari
Nintendo
RCAA
AOL
NetScape
Vine

There is no such thing as too big to fail.

All these things have nothing to do with small startups competing with established norms. forget, Atari and Nintendo became the established norms when they released their original consoles because the market was infantile. In fact, most of these things have been phased out by better products/companies (lol AOL and Netscape).

App on android has 3.8 stars lol
i don't play games that have a 7 in game informer

So youtube is implementing a wall for users to pass to watch all their videos, but you know who doesn't pull this stuff? VIDME, so heres my plan...
"well he's not entirely wrong, wonder what Matthew has to say-"

...If enough people can convince GradeA or another Youtuber with a lot of subs to plug this

David Firth, creator of salad fingers and animator, DidYouKnowGaming and YourMovieSucks are now uploading to VidMe.
