YT is much more valuable to human civilization in general
Netflix still has competitors, and the stakes are lower.
sure, let me know when you can learn programming, build a house, fix a car, decide which product to buy, or some of the greatest interviews and infinitely many things that are only on YT.
Bottomline, people who don't like YouTube are seriously underutilizing it's potential to change your life, make money, learn something
"people who don't like YouTube"
You have been shadow-banned, though your comment history is mostly OK. You might want to contact HN so they have a look at it.
For now I've restored your comment, I can't do much more than that.
I think YT is much more valuable to human civilization in general. If we consider it as a knowledge bank which has everything from learning a new recipe to something as specific as operating a drill to empowering content like lecture videos on coursework. Recently I saw professional quality BBC like nature documentaries on YT.
The importance of it is far more and that's why I think the subscription revenue potential is also far more.
Whether they can convince people to go ad free and pay for it is a different matter. My friend who pays for Apple Music, Netflix, Disney+, iCloud and a bunch of other subscriptions was complaining about YT ads. It boggled my mind that considering his usage, he didn't pay for the premium plan.
