The beginning of the Youtube exodus. People use Youtube for convenience, but what if you have to wait for 2 min to watch your 10 min video?
Exodus where? Most creators are only on YouTube and it's not like there's really an alternative.
To nowhere. It may take some time getting used to not watching my favorite content creators, but I think I'll manage just fine. I'd rather not use youtube-ish sites at all instead of being forced to watch ads every few minutes.
Don't know who your favorite creators are, but many of my favorite creators are on nebula, so at least thats a start.
A lot are also on alternative platforms like nebula. It's true that it's only a select few, but they tend to be also the most interesting YouTube channels.
Well, people will get more and more upset about YouTube, and we already see a lot of new Twitter Alternatives, for example. I could imagine the same development for YouTube.
Odysee is a decent alternative that seems to be gaining traction
