    in my search for a youtube replacement i have found a few small yt-like alternatives that are fractured and niche in content. which at the moment is the only model available against a monolith like yt.

    the problem is that once any of these smaller site were to gather as much content as yt they would have to use that advantage like yt does to make it profitable to keep the servers running and the support/dev staff happy.

    so i haven’t seen a path forward away from yt until that basic issue becomes solved. perhaps lots of small yt niche sites gathered under a federated website i don’t know

      It seems like some kind of micro-transaction system could solve this problem. I wonder how much yt makes per view, pennies?

        Not even that, per Louis Rossmann, you don’t even get a full penny in ad revenue, just fractions of a penny. YT’s ad revenue system is a scam.
