they could just block the alternative frontends. Then we’d need an alternative platform.
You don’t necessarily need DRM to break alternative frontends.
Yes but it might end there. Google can and will eventually push for DRM, after all they’re the ones making the web has DRM…
absolutely, the only draw for content creators is the money they can make on youtube, which means people intersted in making money are more likely to use it and their content is obviously biased towards profit building. Any other platform can easily recreate a sane profit sharing program for creators, eventually it might become youtube, but in the meantime we can all enjoy it.
