Don't know why you so focused about YT. I was just exemplifying how the NFT could be the future of internet by comparing to YT video ecosystem. Not specifically on the future of YT. If anything it was a compliment. But if it improves or is replaced, don't care

> But they don't stick. Simply being an alternative is not sufficient

Tiktok clearly overtook a part o YT for younger people. And some big youtubers already double publish in other platforms

> Why? What undesirable action would youtube take that is prevented by having them reference a blockchain such that you now trust them?

Imagine a new video service appears that hosts the video normally, without IPFS etc, but tracks the user views/likes/dislikes in a public blockchain

Now there is someone with 1 million to invest in adverts. Will they do it on a platform where can validate the actual numbers, or trust YT word?

Not even sure if feasible, everything at the moment is hypothetical. But it will come
