So long as Youtube continues to exist no other video streaming site can compete.

Five years ago I would have agreed with you but I'm seeing more and more normie channels posting videos crying about being demonetized for no reason and with not being able to communicate with Youtube reps about it. It only takes one site that's not as greedy and not staffed with pajeets to start drawing people away from Youtube. Will it be Utreon? Maybe, they've got a decent monetization scheme and it would allow people to move away from Patreon. Another problem YT is facing is TikTok allowing longer form content. That coupled with a younger userbase is bad news for Youtube over the next few years.

No chance in hell. Here's the real reason why nothing can compete with Youtube; video streaming is an absolutely abysmal money sink that will never be profitable without a subscription based service or really lucrative sponsorships and an aggressive advertising model. Youtube has NEVER turned a profit in it's whole existence, it persists because it is backed by one of the world's largest megacorps and it presents a symbolic monopoly on video streaming, sure TikTok exists but that shit's funded primarily by the government of one of the world's largest GDPs, namely China. That is the kind of capital both in money and tech industry clout you need to be able to throw around in order to compete in that sphere.

I think that's why they push their subscription services on everyone and the Aggressive demonetization across the board.
Its not going to stop the bleeding but it helps slow it down.

The fact that it loses money isn't a problem, a loss of a hundred million dollars is a drop in the bucket for Google, they'll make that shit back in a week. The only thing that has a chance to kill Youtube is a mass exodus of traffic away from the platform but even then you're immediately struck by the question of where to go instead. No other website is capable of collating so much content in a single place for such a user friendly browsing experience, the closest thing we have is tiktok but the culture of tiktok is totally different for what gets posted and there are lots of people who refuse to use it because the spyware is even worse than a Google service. As much as youtube blows shit for creators it's the best website for watchers.

No, I like my retarded rollmarks on knockoff guns as anybody who would have that book, but I am also extremely pedantic about my print media styles. There are ways to do a joke like that, and there are ways to drive that shit into the ground so hard it grows corn on top.

Both versions completely fuck up the placement of the seal, meme version misses the opportunity to do "headstamp" text around the border in wonky chinese pistel-stamp-o-vision, and has a significant lack of chinese characters on the cover. The design of the meme version is simultaneously the epitome of "too much" in some areas, and "does not go far enough" in others, and the original design is already pretty bad.

Australia is an example of what happens when a nation starts to believe their own bullshit. They're not hearty outback dwellers, they're a bunch of urban dwelling faggots most of who are descended from Anglos that emmigrated there in the 1930's to 60's.

I have worked with a lot of Aussies. Most of them have been great, but the few I've been around from the Gold Coast and coastal NSW were very different. Talking to the Aussies I liked, I learned the Pacific highway is very much the I5 of Australia. Things made sense when I started categorizing them as Californians with funny accents.

The first Aussie I ever met was a kid (maybe 19yrs old) from Perth, who decided that the headshop I was working at would be a wonderful hangout. I think he was a student at the liberal arts college nearby, because he certainly didn't have a job.

This was in Ybor City right after Centro got built, and there were still a lot of old gutterpunks who refused to leave their squats as it slowly became Gaybor.

One of them, "Syn", had been living in the area since the late 80's and used the storefront as a regular location to drink (the owners tolerated him because he helped deter shoplifters & collect parking fees in exchange for cigarettes).

This guy was like a Puerto Rican Iggy Pop & fairly volatile even when not drunk; so it was easily evident that he wasn't someone to irritate even on a good day, but one weekend that Aussie kid was also drinking & kept needling him about not being truly hardcore. I remember said gutterpunk standing near the doorway, cigarette in one hand & beer bottle clenched in the other, and watching as the blood drained out of his knuckles. I had been waiting all day for something to happen.... and then it did.

That bottleneck imploded with a pop & in one movement with the same bleeding hand, he swung up the cinderblock he was carrying around as a sitting stool and bit a chunk off, chewed it once or twice, and spit the bloody slurry into the kid's face.

The Aussie guy just stood there spewing a steady stream of "oi mate! oi mate!", and I took the opportunity to take a quick break & closed the shop up (lest they migrate inside & break shit), then watched as they scuffled on the street's brickwork until Ybor cops happened along & broke it up (just as the gutterpunk had put the Aussie kid in a full overhead press).

Since then, every Aussie I've ever met has possessed the same sort of desire to poke dangerous animals and/or engage in risky drinking behaviors.

Since the topics of aussies and why they don't deserve human rights is back, all the top comments on IDAT's video are about how he did brandon dirty, even the le funny school shooting joke i swear existed is gone now, nothing but a sea of people calling IDAT scum, so to his credit he didn't delete comments calling him out. Donut made a video about it prior to brandon incase you want to see his vlog about the collab
