Hooktube or Youtube? Which is preferred?

> nobody making a living from YouTube is going to stop using YouTube unless they find themselves in a situation where they can't make money anymore. That kind of happened a little bit with people moving to twitch over the past year or two. You're kinda making my argument for me here. By keeping the status quo, you lock the creators into a bad deal. By pulling funding, you cause them to start looking elsewhere. Creators are desperate to leave, many have been trying to find homes in related markets like Twitch, but there is nothing that really fits the role at the moment. A few of the more successful creators (like Philip Defranco) are already beginning to setup alternative venues for their content. > The initial cost of setting up a video host Is peanuts. A small hosting site would be less than your phone bill. Costs will rapidly scale up as the content does. But so would income. The biggest start-up costs would be marketing and employee wages. > Companies that do have the resources to do it aren't going to bother, because YouTube is not a money maker. It's a price-point calculation. Right now any profitable services are not profitable enough to avoid being bought up and torpedoed. Hopefully that balance will shift. > It just seems as though we are not quite ready to have an alternative. That's more or less how I see it. So I'm gonna rock the boat until we are.
