It's going to keep getting worse until the fed starts pumping money into the economy again.
On the other hand, at least they're finally being honest about exactly what they are.
Alright, so what are the next steps? The issue with YouTube is that video streaming requires a lot of resources to be scaled, we can't really replace it with open source alternatives
- Are you familiar with peertube? I'm not suggesting it's going to replace YouTube but it's kind of neat that there's at least one open source platform that you can self host video on. But I agree, the scale issue is huge. All I can foresee is a world where we have a lot of different little sites. Not sure if that's better but YouTube has a total stranglehold.
  
  I know Peertube, but I don't see any Peertube instance able to handle the load of even a fraction of YouTube viewers
