    Yeah, but that one is replaceable if people want too.

      Everything is replaceable if people want to. The problem is the inertia it takes to substitute it

        YouTube is really hard to replace without the money of a multi billion company.

        Video is hard and attracting creators is even harder.

          So is a good search engine. As much as I love DuckDuckGo and daily drive it the results are much worse than google’s

            No, you can switch to a different search engine right now and the results will be perfectly fine. I use DDG exclusively.

            What video platform can you switch to that has even remotely close to the amount of content as YouTube? (Pornhub doesn’t count)

                It’s also different as there only a few privileged channels get to keep their content forever. A lot of channels can only keep it for 2 weeks or 2 months based on their status, and a lot of creators upload their content to youtube to keep it for longer

            The only benefit I get from google over ecosia or duckduckgo is I can’t call a company or view their menu immediately from the search page after looking them up.

                Hopefully the alternatives catch on to that and improve outside of the English speaking world. Using Brave has been a dream for me, the results are almost always better than Google.

                  i personally refrain from brave, because A, those whole crypto shennenigans and what not and second, the browser is chromium based and i use firefox and i haven’t bothered to put brave search yet
