    I don’t disagree with you, I’m just saying that YouTube is nothing without both its creator and viewers.
    A viewer-exodus and a creator-exodus would be tied together, they both feedback into each other.

    I even get why YouTube doubledown on catering to their advertisers over the creators and viewers, that’s just money talking.
    I’m just saying I don’t owe them my time or attention.
    They would hardly be the first Internet giant to fall, thinking they’re too big to fail, not that I see it happening soon though.

      Very true. But if Reddit didn’t fall I very much doubt YouTube will.

      Perhaps you and I might leave, but it won’t be enough.
