    I’m trying to encourage people to use other video services in general but getting out of YT jail is pretty hopeless. Happy when I do see a non-YT vid tho.

      It’s a vicious circle.

      People don’t use other video services because there aren’t much content.

      Content creator don’t upload their videos to other video services because there aren’t viewers.

        People don’t host video sites because of how demanding and not profitable it is.

        YouTube doesn’t break even. Google runs it at a loss just to have that advantage.

        I run two insignificant communities for posting vids. Gotta post YT to have something, but I try to find alternatives and encourage others too.
