>>1221716>the amount of shit YT is pulling offI'm so tired of this argument. What exactly are you talkng about? Losing some archives and very temporary bans? Can you estimate average losses from that shit?
You are completely right that setting up own strerming platform is not easy. It will cost shit tons of money and take like a year or two of development, 4-6 senior developers and a couple of managers, +servers. This shit will cost a lot for this huge traffic with like 50k-100k viewers every single day for ~50 streamers. And this is only for PC, without mobile apps. There is no way you can make an app better than YouTube in 1 year, unless you hire like 4 android + 4 ios developers.
And even if you do all this and it will be absolutely perfect (which never ever happens in development) you still will lose a lot of viewers because most people do not want to leave youtube bubble with their favorites, comments, etc.
And what you will get in the end? Nothing. Because problems with copyrights are coming not from youtube but from companies. You will not save money because you will hae to pay constantly for servers and developers to support everything.
My conclusion as a experienced team lead developer: the idea of own streaming service is super shitty.
YouTube deserves every single cent from those puny 30%.
