    I dont even know if its possible to create a proper competitor to youtube at this point.

    There is. People just wouldn’t like it. Lowering the resolution and framerates massively to save on space. The nerds (derogatory) would trash the platform everywhere they can have a voice if it doesn’t support 4k 120fps, though.

      Even if you limit it to 720p, if it were to be even a quarter as popular as youtube, the bandwith and storage requirements would still be astronomical.

      not to even mention the computational power required to process and transcode all that data from whatever format you upload it to, into whatever format the platform wants.
