    I actually think that’s a good idea, but it would be nice to have some extra features too.

    Kinda like YouTube premium

        Youtube doesn’t have real competition because hosting video is much more expensive than text. That’s why Google doesn’t make individual reports about YouTube, it’s most likely not profitable.

          It’s still wild to me twitch saves full VODs but doesn’t allow strangers to cut/upload videos to compete with YouTube

            It hasn’t been profitable for a long time. Its only recently that it became profitable

            Edit: I actually couldn’t find anything about it’s profability and most sources say it’s not really profitable.
