Go on then, LTT. Delete your youtube account.

They have already started their own platform, Floatplane. And other creators are on it as well.

Simple fact is though, YouTube is still king, and so leaving YouTube entirely isn't tenable at this point. But they are already working on alternatives.

They are leading in the right direction. I think that's the important.

I disagree, he is just mad because he wants to keep all the ad money for himself and thinks YouTube is stealing his profit. This is the “ad blocking is piracy” guy afterall. There's not a single moral shred in that video, it's all patronizing and capitalist greed. He just wants to keep all the subscription money without having to share it with anyone.

Apparently they're going to address YouTube replacements in the second part of the series. Also I'm fairly sure they spoke about Youtube ReVanced a couple of times before.
