What has chrome ever been "bundled" with? And if it was there was no reason to people to simply not use it.

You just can't admit that Chrome does have its merits for some non-logical reason...

Yep, people have been repeating this same meme for a little more than half a decade and the amount of money they make and product they sell has only gone up.

Also the fact that only Apple makes Apple products, as opposed to other Windows/Android computers/laptops/Phones/tablets which have multiple competitors.

So if I didn't voluntarily giving up my privacy for something (an invaluable product to use) you wouldn't let me? Why? It's none of your business what I desire from my personal privacy.

FYI GHZ isn't a good indicator of performance difference between 2 different types, models, and architecture;

it's like comparing the revs of your cars, it's just the cycle rate, not the Instruction rate

I bet you'd be screaming hell if chrome would have done it.
It's really grinding when any criticism isn't addressed but complained about for being pointed out.
It's not about sunk costs; it's about being able to redo all the hard parts ... that a small startup would not be able to do it and a large company would fall prey to the same short comings youtube has right now
For the same reason we don't use the Usenet in place of the Internet.
>youtube is great for building an audience, but not nessesarily good for keeping it.

I wouldn't make that youtube's fault. People just grow out of content or like other content.

And the overzealous community guidelines and copyright strikes are a result of hundreds of lawsuits against youtube by the movie industry, and a need to appeal to advertisers for their platform.

Youtube barely makes any real income, just barely.

People seriously seriously underestimate the amount time and tech that has gone into youtube.

PeerTube/alternate youtube will also be subjective to the same things and similar things will happen.

Copyright system has to inspect billions of hours of video in a day, you can't expect people to do all of that. Will the alternative that isn't already a huge company have the assets to deal with all the copyright infringement? To have the enourmous CDN and advanced AI filtering algorithms that is better than youtube?
