YouTube has the content. I can put my stuff on the others, and send my friends links no problem. However when Dave Richards posts another old time machine shop video it is only to YT - I can think of several more awesome channels that are only on YT.

I don't know how to solve this problem.

I'm not convinced that's actually a problem. To replace them, we don't need to vacuum every single creator out of their ecosystem at the same time.

When the network effect shifts, it does it gradually with long siphoning effects, not all at once.
