People talk about Nebula, but it's not just subscription, but also gated creator space. You can only upload videos there if you were invited or at least had negotiating power to make them want to have you. So, not even mentioning the limited range and amount of content for users, you cannot join Nebula as a creator unless you're already successful. It is a niche business model with which YT simply can't be overtaken, by design. It exists on the base of other platforms LIKE KZread.

@photontinkerer

It's always going to have to be gated for their business model to exist. Like so many others, the state of KZread gave birth them them but trying to be KZread would destroy them. They need to guarantee that the person they're signing up has a track record of producing videos that are compatible with the themes of their platform, and people actually want to watch. It's only possible if those creators are "vetted" by previous KZread uploads beforehand. KZread still takes on the mess of all the unpredictable new creators.

My condition leaves me with chronic insomnia, and it helps there too, soothing voices especially of disaster and crime channels, that play through the night, my husband falls asleep the moment his head hits the pillow, no matter the time, and if you can't sleep his snoring creates murderous thoughts so the distraction is welcome...

I'm all in favor, I've never seen an economic model I really liked, but I don't really know where to start a change of that scale either.

I'm just going off the title, but youtube does have competitors, they just arent centralized! Peertube and odysee are examples. I dont know much about Odysee just know it exists, but i know most Peertube instances focus on education, while quite a few others focus more on entertainment. I do actually hope some youtubers will swap to these alternative, but its unlikely and unrealistic. These platforms dont pay, and are normally ran on donations, so a career on them just isnt viable. Edit: Thanks for the replies, and i kinda made some mistakes... First- No, peertube is NOT an alternative for youtube (I'm just not big brain in the slightest, it litterally says this in the FAQ) Second-from what i can see, odysee is kinda like the Twitter of video platforms, it's not a great experience :/

Dailymotion could very easily add just safe search setting that by default is switched to safe. That would solve the problem you mentioned at 9:19.

I mean the biggest reason, like you said, is cost. YT only just became barely profitable as is and its only getting more expensive to run. Video hosting is such a ruinously expensive business model that any competitor would quickly be on the verge of bankruptcy

Aside from the competition being smaller than KZread in terms of funding and its user base, KZread also has the advantage of having an early start in comparison to the other sites. KZread has been around for nearly 20 years and has become integrated with the online world because of it. Even if these other sites had the same funding that youtube had, they still wouldn't pull in big numbers due to KZread being THE platforming site to post videos on that so many people are familiar with worldwide.

You are the only person I ever hear discussing the pros and cons of KZread from an objective business perspective. I hear plenty of people airing their grievances, many of which are valid, but they won't even humor the notion that, whether they like it or not, KZread kind of does need regular income to just exist, so it's either humor that notion or not have KZread any more (as a wise convenience store clerk once said, "Shit or get off the pot"). I can also feel only so bad for people who's entire livelihood depends on KZread. Most of the time, that was their decision. Relying on a system that has been largely automated for longer than it hasn't doesn't seem like a wise career choice. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. I'm sure a lot of people don't want to hear what you're saying, and yeah, it can feel a little dismissive at times, but if they really cared about KZread improving and are willing to be more proactive beyond making an angry video saying how angry they are, they'd be wise to humor the notion that yes, money IS important in this case.

Great video explaining this "snowball effect" of KZread's growth, and the main cause of its growth was literally its competitors "business models" to not say "incompetence". The thing is: no other homemade video platform has HALF of KZread's features, creators would move long ago if wasn't for the justifiable fear of losing their audience, thus limiting revenue/sponsorships due to those being primarily centered around KZread, and the other platforms don't try to be better than KZread, they just try to copy KZread or paywall basic functions that KZread provides for free, also their lenience towards types of content perhaps are even harsher than KZread's despite some even allowing explicit content, offering almost no advantages whatsoever to the content creator or viewers over KZread. There's also the political side of things, which KZread is very lenient about because i've seen videos from all spectrums, but i heard speculation of some platforms only allowing political takes from certain spectrums, since it's just a speculation, i can't confirm or deny it.

I do find it weird KZread hasn’t implemented any way to limit the amount of uploads being done. People basically using KZread as free video backup where those could be pushed to Google Drive. Like unmonitized channels have limit of 10 private/hidden video uploads.

One of my biggest complaints about KZread happens all the time on channels I follow who cover things like true crime stories. Rape, suicide, murder, pedophiles, ect are all words (and the list continues to grow all the time) that they will no longer say in their videos for fear of getting demonetized. KZread states in their rules that it's ok for creators to talk about those subjects as long as it's done in an informative way and not promoting/encouraging those things. That's not the case however bc time and time again creators were getting demonetized for simply saying those words. As far as the argument some ppl have about "well thats ok bc what if young kids watch it or ppl who have triggers related to those topics"...here is my opinion: If it's a child, the parent should be monitoring what the child is watching in the first place, not to mention there is KZread Kids for that very reason. As far as ppl getting triggered by those subjects, I'm sorry but you shouldn't be watching videos on true crimes anyway if those topics bother you. Those videos cover nothing but those topics...

Advertisers might have left, but they would have returned anyways because they NEED KZread. The management just became horrible around 2017-2018 and the appearance of Tik Tok sank KZread and now, it's not AS popular as it was in the mid 2010s.

Rumble is a competitor and growing rapidly. There's also Odysee.

That's just how the internet works, if your social media is the same as another platform, it will fail no matter what.

this might have nothing to do with the video but i think youtube should add the "featured videos" tab again

I believe AV1 video encoding is meant to save bit rate but maintain high quality? in an instance of something like that coming about, and as technology like this continues to grow, the feasibility of someone else coming to market to be an actual competitor is an increasing. The additional part keeping youtube successful is also the long library of content, considering they've been the default for so long... it will definitely make it harder for an emerging company but it just needs that encouragement for people to upload. Also, considering the limbo state of tiktok at the moment, its probably a long shot for them if they did expand, and even if they did, im sure it will be met with various concerns such as cooperate and government/schools not allowing access due to the on-going issues with data security that keeps being claimed as a possible threat.

I feel like another part most people don't seem to mention is KZread's creators and their followings. I feel like at least getting people with decent follower bases to cross-post videos to a hypothetical KZread alternative would be key. To be honest, while I don't think it'll happen anytime soon I feel like it's inevitable that one day KZread will go the way of Facebook or Skype. Obviously making KZread's equivalent of Discord will not be easy, but the demand has been growing for at the very least a decade, so maybe someday the right chain of events will lead to it happening

9:28 Why did he repeat that part twice? Extra emphasis?

no one nothing: newgrounds: aye im something here too!

its a good and bad thing while youtube provides a good service for the consumer but absolutly horrible creator support

Rumble is the competitor

Video hosting sites like youtube are expensive to maintain. KZread allows you to do that for free. This is why smosh turned to youtube and why youtube has no competition

There is Rumble (which doesn’t have the selection or speed) but that’s about it.

We really should be regularly discussing alternatives to KZread. VidLii anyone?

09:30 Why do subltitles say "Although copyrighted content is illegal, it does not have that same level of public disgust." once but human in video says it twice?

assuming he used the tool in KZread where you can put your script in and it will time the captions automaticly, then it would just skip the second clip of the same thing (as in only in the script once)

a merged Vimeo + Dailymotion would be a perfect competitor for KZread

this is where im posed with a qaundry- we say compitition is good for the economy and the consumer alot in economic discussion-however id say somethings outright demand to be monopolies by both of those forces- parallel it with streaming -it was demonstrably better when basically one company was doing it- but with all of these competitors its made both the products themselves and the end users experience with them worse. this kinda break the rule we set above dont it? in these cases- it seems monopolism actually is the play- the same effect happens in games- steam is the best one but i might shy away from an ea release even if its on steam just cause it requires origin take space on my pc. to be a redundant launcher. and so many companies I avoid for this same problem. i also dont got nebula or any history with youtube competitors- i pretty much only liked youtube since 2007 when i was a teenager watching on the young website. and thats just cause id rather not have to manage that many sites and bounce around all the time. id rather it be easier on me and the creators. maybe in these cases- we should have a monitored ecosystem- one allowed to have a defacto monopoly but is maintained and balanced by a strong labor union and government assistance. id rather it be that very voice of everyone that it states to be. but the profit motive rn is still shakey. id like some reassurance they wont pull the rug on the only youtube in town cause they eventually realize the cost will scale with them.

Wow, Jawed Karim! you're AWESOME!!!!

Is it just me or this part has been repeated twice?! 9:29

KZread got popular when enforcing copyright laws on the internet was immature. Now that avenue of growth is closed, and any challengers will need to find some other way to win.

if youtube quits tomorrow, microsoft build a platform in a week.

i remember google video. i watched saddam hussein get hung as a teen. wild days. basically large portions of the internet are memory holed. you had to be there, and you had to also be looking.

we need another large corporation to create a YT competitor

This mission statement of rumble is free speech. They are not partial. Them changing to become like KZread would kill their fanbase of people who want a more open platform.

I used to have a PlayStation and a tv, but now my son took that, so now I have youtube.

I don't create a youtube competitor because… I don't have the money. Monetization is super hard with this model/content-type.

I hate that KZread Vanced is no longer functional. I rather use it than the native KZread app.

Some people don't like that KZread has put too many ads into videos. I understand they need to pay for their operations, but too many ads interrupting peoples videos

If only there was a way to don't have ads...

If KZread disappeared tomorrow I would go to my own peertube instance I already host today. 😌

In a different world Yahoo bought youtube.

2:53 I'm a traumatised F1 fan and this triggered my PTSD for a split second.

We need to migrate to peertube since it has improved alot in the last six years

I had finally caved on pay the KZread Premium because I got tired of shitty ads. Also did pay the Twitch version because same reason here.

Hey so my take on TikTok and Twitch being competitors: I don't want this. I don't want Twitch to become a youtube competitor. I don't like shorts on youtube. That's what Instagram and TikTok are for. I don't wanna watch live streams on youtube. Not every platform needs to do everything. It's okay to have different spaces for different things. I like it better if every service has it's niche.

First is the compute problem....Huge amount of CPU for video conversion, bitrate and HLS streaming

It's not that KZread has no competitors however, the competitors are just too small. But alt media is gaining significant traction as KZread is increasingly more and more toxic and hostile to the creators.

“it’s not that youtube has no competitors, there’s just no competition”

Odysee seems to be the closest in style to KZread, particularly the old pre-Google YT. If someone with deep pockets were to buy into it and get the word out, I think it would stand a serious chance of giving KZread a run for their money. Already some YT content creators are backing up their video content on there, getting more YT creators on the platform could give it the critical mass it needs to succeed.

Question does a KZreadr of your size make more money from patreon or from the KZread partner program?

I'm sure I'm not the first to bring up Lbry. Not that it's really competitive player compared to KZread but I'm pretty sure it leverages p2p for hosting.

this really was the right video for me, my channel just got a strike for community guidelines stupidness that didnt make any sense lol

9:30 OK OK I get it

This video made me want to try Rumble again.... I can see why Rumble isnt successful. My goodness that was just as braindead as tiktok.

9:15 Unfortunately, KZread DID allow adult content secretly for no reason and this problem hasn't been brought to light yet. (Plus the viewer warning about adult content didn't work)

In russia we have vk video and rutube, which are technically the biggest KZread competitors here, also keep in mind Chine, where as far as i am aware, there is no youtube, so they may have the biggest competitor here (also that mandarine is the most spoken language in the world (i think??)).

I just want people to make videos for fun and not money. Everything is "monetized" nowadays and I hate it.
