    If YouTube stops working, it won’t be the end of streaming video. Thousands of porn sites manage to do it. It may take several years, but something else will come along to take YouTube’s place. In the meantime, we will have other stuff to do.

      Your comment makes me giggle that there’s a possible future where PornHub admins are getting angry at influencers for uploading wholesome content, in violation of the site Terms of Service.

      Edit: I hope the headline reads, “PornHub has issued a press release - naming an account MrBeastPhilanthropy194768 isn’t fooling anyone, and they need to take their charitable fundraising to a more appropriate platform.”

      What makes you think any free option that takes YouTube’s place won’t have just as many ads? The traffic that pornhub gets compared to YouTube is not really comparable.

      Like fighting the system, building barricades, car tyres on fire?

      I still think most sites would struggle dealing with the stream of people continually uploading full episodes of copyrighted works, as well as finding a profitable revenue stream for all the bandwidth used. Even YouTube has a hard time with it.
