They're also looking into monetising 1080p as well. And they're really pushing Premium hard for those who watch via TV. Ultimately I think YouTube eventually wants to paywall it's site with advertising, it's where other services are heading in terms of their monetisation strategies.
They've been looking to turn the internet into the new television for awhile, this is just the next phase. It's why they're trying to cleanse the internet of anything they deem 'inappropriate' and also I think it's part of why they establish such an arbitrary ruleset for even being on there so that they can easily get rid of anyone that doesn't fit within the mould they're trying to create for the new internet in order to attract as many boomers and normies as possible.
I would not be shocked if they even just simply ditched television altogether as a concept willingly and forced a lot of tech illiterate people to switch over their services to something more internet oriented because they know the overall viewership is dwindling big time for television and frankly once the boomer generation has died off as well that will be the end of it.
Another aspect to them trying to control the internet is them getting people hooked onto the more stage managed content. Gone are the days of 2 girls 1 cup and Charlie the unicorn, all that weird and random shit is out of the window because they don't want children coming across it as they have done on youtube kids.
Alt-tech is the real internet now, to me it feels a lot like the internet pre-2016 where people are genuinely experimenting and having fun. If you ever see a site owner suddenly have a hard on for arbitrary censorship after grifting for free speech, it's because they're cleaning the community for the sake of ad money.
Add in anticompetitor behaviour from the existing big names that stiffles and kills off any attempts at decentralisation or outright competitors setting up and you end up with a growing list of dead projects like Parler, Saidit, and various others.
Lol don't worry, I'm sure Bardfinn (powerword Steven Joel Akins, a deliquent and abusive father, wife beater, and raging pedophile who likes to pretend he's a woman on the internet using AI generated images) will keep full access so he can continue to hunt down imaginary natzees.
It's something that happens rarely, or if there's a lot of traffic. Since reveddit is a frontend for reddit (and beholden to the rate limit). Just try again.
Well YouTube is charging for 4k videos soon so..
Decentralization is the future.

Really? Lol. That's dumb as hell. I get it, but fuck off. Make money off ads or something
I keep wondering when Reddit is going to have their digg.com moment and begin the diaspora. Hopefully this is it.

Reddit is the last major forum and will never die unless the people who own it voluntarily euthanize it.
So, making reddit even more friendly to massive corporations. Got it.
Yeah, if they go premium for the API they will have to get payment processors in the mix. We all know how those react to any nsfw porn stuff
