Just curious, but isn't this an understood risk as a publisher when your reach is almost entirely controlled by a single company? Do you guys have a Plan B if Youtube shuts you out?

This isn't something individuals can do, network effects mean we need more coordinated social movement away from these controlled systems.

Obviously the real solution is GNU MediaGoblin and federation.

but surely creators can provide their media on different platforms, even without running their own?

I mean one of the earliest complaints I remember about Music Key was that it forbids this, but not all other services do.
