i really wish someone would makes a great youtube alternative that pays $1-5 cpm, but DOESN’T shut down like blip or vidme. it DOESN’T have to be a cooprative, but it should. seriously!
Storing videos, and streaming them without latency is a huge problem. Specifically if you also have to process for different resolutions and such for different devices.
Edit: I don’t know how true it is now, but in the past YouTube would have local servers and specific agreements with ISPs for higher bandwidth for them in many countries.
It’s also quite expensive. YouTube only broke even for over a decade after Google got their hands on it, and Google can afford to host the servers, and manage distribution themselves.
A new player would find it much harder in today’s landscape. When YouTube was made, it had the advantage that of not having that many viable competitors. That’s no longer the case today.
