    People are ok with this and even if not, they’ll forget it in a few months. Remember when YouTube removed the dislike button? Or surveys? Or forced more ads onto its users?

    Nobody is talking about that anymore (except maybe the ads part)

      There’s no real alternative to YouTube. An aggregator is not as novel or as complex as a video hosting service with millions of channels with huge productions and followings. This is also a lot bigger than a thumbs down button.

        Twitch could fill the gap if enough effort was put in imo

          Ya but I think twitch is already losing money, and the only way to get big channels to move to your video service is to pay them millions of dollars in sign on contracts. It would take billions gather a significant portion of big YouTube channels. I don’t think Amazon wants to dump anymore into that money pit.
