    At one time, Yahoo ruled the search engine and Netscape ruled the web browser. Things are never permanent in the tech world. The Fediverse is the distant rumblings of the next phase of the internet. We are moving away, ever so slightly from the centralised corporate model to a user-distributed model. One day, every person on the internet will host and serve a shard of content, circumventing corporate and government gateways. So it shall be for video sites.

      I want to go out on a limb here and say that pretty much nothing is permanent, be it on the internet or the lifespan of our universe.

            I never thought reddit would disappear. That would be delusional. Fucking myspace is still around. It’s just nice to have an alternative so I don’t use it. I’m with you though. I can’t see decentralization working very well for a youtube replacement. We need to have some type of trust-busting that does something like have youtube be the backend and have available as many frontends as people want. Work out the money somehow or other.
