MODERATORS
Lots of people test the alternatives, find they actually really do like the comfort of the YouTube bubble and go back.
Most people are not going to be hard core free speech advocates who will ignore/block what they don't like.
Any chance of competition requires algorithmic discovery, censorship (to the users biases), and transparency across platforms
Apps like grayjay that pull content from multiple platforms seamlessly is a good first step in making video streaming fungible.
