I think youtube just has so much content that is nowhere else that it can't go 'out of fashion.' It's a massive public archive of creative and educational content which you can't just discover on another platform.

It'd take a very long time for something (like rumble/vimeo) to catch up or an amazingly large stuff-up at Youtube to drive people away.

Yeah Facebook posts and even tiktok videos are short lived things. No one will care about them in a year, but YouTube regularly shows me old stuff that’s great.

YouTube premium is the only streaming service I use on my TV because it’s got a never ending list of good content.
