I strongly believe that, at least for youtube, there are no forthcoming competitors to gain market share. Network effect is too strong, and if even an inkling of that happens the policies that lead to people leaving will be rolled back just enough.

Policies being rolled back are just the market forces adjusting itself in real time. I'm pretty sure the current trend of forcing ads on everyone will not be feasible, and I reaaaaally hope Google keeps pushing people until a peertube-like option can become a reasonable alternative to the current monopoly. I can even see "torrents for YouTube videos" becoming a thing if they keep enshitificating it.
