You've never uploaded a video to YouTube have you? Their creator tools are actually incredible and their stats are a good way to tune their videos. Of course you shouldn't completely rely on them.

Also it isn't just the content. I rather use YouTube over Odysse, even if it's the same content. It's such a better experience, especially on mobile. Odysee is on the level YouTube was 10 years ago.

Also making a free video streaming site isn't really profitable. I don't know if YouTube still isn't profitable, but I've read reports from 2015 that it still wasn't profitable.

It makes sense that they now try to push things that make them money. They wouldn't push ads so hard if they weren't desperate.

In this case it's literally corruption. A few kilometers away, there is a coca cola bottling station which uses the area's ground water.

Coca cola also sells bottled water in the area so they don't lose anything even if they buy water.

Not necessarily true. They are mostly advertised as "music videos" or something like this. If YouTube would know it's porn or even CP, they wouldn't serve the ads and block the account.

There are other factors that also play a role like location or age.

Imagine if a newspaper could block you from reading an article because you didn't spend enough time looking at the ads.

They do that though. Most even require you to accept their cookies, pay or not be able to read the article at all.

They aren't as good as YouTube though and that's the problem. YouTube isn't great. It's just the best platform like this that we have.

There are temperature sensors inside every device already.

There actually is an area in Africa where they only drink coca cola because they don't have clean drinking water

Yeah haven't thought of that, but they aren't really YouTube alternatives. You don't use them instead of YouTube, but as an addition.

That's not possible though. There simply is no content on other platforms and they generally aren't as good as YouTube and probably never will be.

The only platform I could see to rival YouTube in the future is Twitch

But note that you need to download the Fdroid version for the degoogled version

Either it got compromised or Google is warning you because it has a different signature than the Google play version
