They’re the safest. It has the highest cost to run of any other site pretty much. The amount of data uploaded is staggering.
They may deserve to be replaced, but a competitor has the highest hurdles to overcome. You pretty much need to be another tech giant or the public needs to have a new perspective on how to pay for content rather than ads.
Yeah only way I see it working is if it’s more of a peer to peer / torrenting concept. As in while you use it, you are “seeding” other videos / content as well.
YouTube. It will be a real loss because I doubt even Archiveteam could backup all the useful YT videos.

I don’t think we’ll see a Lemmy etc of YouTube unless a lot of people are cool with sharing their bandwidth for little benefit.

PeerTube is exactly this, it’s federated and uses WebTorrent. https://joinpeertube.org/
I recently stumbled over Odysee and am not exactly sure where to put them category wise. they are a federated service as well, aren’t they?
No, Odysee/LBRY operates on blockchain/crypto. It aims to be decentralised, and in that sense it’s bit like federation, but it’s completely different.
