If you think it's sustainable you can create a new service yourself, no one is stopping you. I've done cost estimations for projects with 1M+ customers and the margins are so tight we've killed at least a dozen services despite pouring months or years of effort into their designs and prototypes. It's easy for you to complain about freebies from your couch but the reality is that if someone could make a better service than YouTube, they already would have. "Spare is your tears" lol.
Question that pertains to general hosting at those scales. In your opinion what costs more, distributing a piece of content that will get 1M views, or 1000 pieces of content that will get 1000 each? I know the math wont add up, but I dont know where the cost bottleneck is. Is hosting something even though it isnt used or that viral spike in views that kills attempts to make a smaller service like this?
