I think the real problem is no one (or not enough people) want to pay for a service that hosts user uploaded video, filters each and every one accurately for illegal/copyrighted content, and then is able to serve it worldwide 24/7 instantaneously.

That’s the reason I think no alternative service has sprouted up.

That's just another reason to consider advertising-funded services as fundamentally anticompetitive and get rid of them.

We had a policy for that built into the DMCA. It was a procedure that copyright holders could send an email and go through a process of attestation and rebuttal.

Google shortcutted that by working with music and movie studios and made a ML version that bypasses the DMCA. The harm is caused to everyone not represented by a major media company.

In the end, I have no due process afforded to me by the DMCA because Google bypassed it for cronyism.

And enough people aren’t willing to pay for the people receiving that email.

Nothing stopping anyone else from starting a similar service as YouTube that offers that kind of service, other than lack of money to burn.
