That's why it's so important to just build your own website and to stop being dependent on other people for anything you have.

YouTube sucks, but it's not a monopoly. It's nowhere close to one. Monopolies are not "there's only one product." People love spouting monopoly to every mainstream product like iPhone and Windows.

YouTube has plenty of competition in video hosting. There's more professional high cost ones like Netflix. Less giving but just as easily accessible is TikTok. Hell there's even PornHub.

Just because YouTube has a unique combination of services that has allowed self employment for many people that can't get it easily on existing sites does not mean that competition does not exist. Many content creators on YouTube actually advertise a competing site on YouTube.

Before we can start offering solutions we need to have a good understanding on what the problem is and what it isn't.

Don’t want the risk of culpability ? Don’t want to consider others? Feel entitled? Then go Create your own distribution.

But YouTube doesn't have a monopoly, you're more than welcome to start up a competing video hosting site and steal their customers. YouTube is providing a platform, for people to upload and store their videos for free -- they have every right to decide who they do and don't want on their platform.

It's simple, just don't do something that will get you banned fifteen years later when the winds change direction. Sure, red sweaters were cool back then, but now they mean something wildly different. We'll give you three strikes for three videos with one second of a red sweater. And you're deleted for so many strikes. Thanks, bu-bye.
