The least they could do is have a fucking white list.

This should also be a really big sign for all these content creators to bunch up and find an alternative.

YouTube has an effective monopoly on small scale video like this. Creators try to use other platforms be the audience just isn’t there.

Distributing video is also considerably harder compared with text or images, so it’s harder to for grassroots platforms to start up.
