Comment on What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads?

Except who wants to be YouTube?

Twitch only does streaming. Meta and TikTok only do short form video. Spotify’s attempts to branch into video seem focused on podcasts and curated content. If YouTube were to erase from existence, I don’t see a competitor getting made.

That’s the neat part. Why make it if you could just buy it? All it takes is for a rich authoritarian asshat with too much money and a desire to push an agenda.

  Kind of hard to buy something that doesn’t exist.
