Switch to where? Everything that's not just a different youtube frontend is either shit or doesn't pay the creators. Federated FOSS sites aren't an option either cause once an influx of users outside the tech bubble happens, the server capacity will hit ground bottom.
Probably people would just start needing to host their own video content and share it amongst themselves, like in the old internet
for sure. necessity breeds invention. sometimes i just want enshittification to takes its course so foss adoption grows more.
The way the foss sites work is basically like torrents though so it has the whole "the more people that watch a video, the faster it becomes for everyone" effect. The primary upside is that each site serves as a guaranteed seeder.
