    True, although I think it still has advantages to switch to platforms like DailyMotion (although I’m not a fan of it, and see multiple disadvantages too):

    1. To weaken the monopoly of the big monopolist, YouTube in this case. Most people are hardly able or willing to leave any monopolist, and it they do, the will only start with something that’s comparable, understandable, easy, and has scale. Not to something that requires some kind of safari through a complicated fediverse jungle where they immediately get lost in discussions about instances and stuff.
    2. To boost jobs, skills, expertise and innovation in building this kind of tech environments. Which later can contribute to better European alternatives than just relying on whatever USA thinks is good for us.
