Ya this is kinda why youtube is the only game in town for video hosting on that scale. There is a huge entry cost to start a service like that. The amount of traffic video streaming generates is just crazy. Not really comparable to something like lemmy which is mostly text. and even the pictures here load kinda slow lol. Not that im complaining just pointing out that video hosting is a whole other beast.

And people have a lot of issues trying to use Vimeo and Dailymotion.
