    Have you seen most YouTube videos? Nothing can hold up to the garbage content being pumped in by scammers and low effort “influencers” and shit like Mr beast or the Pauls or whatever is popular these days. We don’t need YouTube level capacity for good content.

      But that bad content would flow over to the new platform. Just like bots and bad actors exist here on Lemmy, and wether or not you want them to be here they are.

      You can’t build for “the good content” and assume the bad won’t follow. And honestly, once you hit a certain scale it is literally impossible to weed out the bad.
