Yeah. Reddit is technologically very bland. It’s “easy” to make a Reddit clone - the community is what makes it tick. But YouTube needs crazy levels of infrastructure to provide the full experience that it does. When Reddit collapses there’s places to migrate to. But if YouTube collapses it’s just a loss.

Not to mention you can fit more Reddit on a 1TB hard drive than YouTube, which makes it much easier to exfiltrate content.

On the other hand, maybe it will prop up PeerTube for once…

But in either case there’s massive value in the existing content that would be lost.

  I’m sure some of those creators will try to take their content other places
