YouTube at least has the advantage of being really fucking hard to replace by an independent third party. Whereas Reddit is an extremely easy formula to copy and requires minimal server costs.
Floatplane is nowhere near close. Floatplane is only good for established creators with dedicated fanbases who are willing to pay, although admittedly it is really good for that. There are ways FP could start to encroach on YT but its still a long way off.
Just like youtube, they think they made this.
What they don’t get is that they are actually passengers on other peoples creativity.
It’ll be fine. Just need to keep investing in opensource, openaccess alternatives.
We guccii.

I mean, floatplane is pretty much there.
Not to mention peertube, which, well, isnt there, but could get there.
Nether of those can replace youtube
