   YT is much more valuable to human civilization in general
Netflix might be a safer bet, for that reason. I think many people, including people with standing and influence, would prefer Earth's public repository of historical video not be under the control of one amoral, ad-driven monopoly.

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"
Whether people like Youtube isn't that relevant to my comment. The argument for breaking up Bell's monopoly in the 1980s wasn't "I dislike telephony"

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.
