    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

          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.

          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)
