"Paid Youtube alternative focused on mobile" has failed to become huge a couple times now (see Vessel as well).

I'm somewhat baffled by the "if we just raise a bunch more money to produce way more expensive content it'll work this time" logic, but if you're a Hollywood person I think it's probably easy to believe that more grassroots/independent youtube-creator productions wouldn't be able to compete with your A-Listers.
