Reddit and YouTube both do not want the increased liability, and hence want you to think of this like it is the end of the world, because it may cost them money. It's unlikely either business would actually exit the EU over it, because that's a lot of money and users to leave off the table. In addition, exiting the EU makes space in the EU market for new competitors to arise... who might become large enough to venture out into the global stage.

I think it's unlikely either site would leave the EU, but if it did, I'd be glad for the increased competition it might give rise to.
