Lol. Where else are you going to go? YouTube is a de facto monopoly when it comes to self-published shortform videos.

The consequences of the "everything-is-free" Web 2.0 internet has created some very arrogant consumers that won't even pay $10/mo. to support content creators.

TickTok, Vimeo, and Nebula are all direct competition but YouTube is just entertainment for most people so any streaming service also counts.

YouTube premium isn’t worth it to me, not because there is a free option but because YouTube content isn’t worth 10$/month.

tiktok.
TikTok and YouTube are fundamentally different and serve no danger to each other.

Nobody's watching a 25-minute video on TikTok.

But people are watching TikTok content on Youtube, so I think that's their point.
