The enshittification of the tech industry continues...who's next? Place your bets.
As soon as AV2/H.266 becomes standard, i'd say Youtube would be at risk.
Edit: Added AV2 to my comment.
How would that make youtube worse?
They'll find a way, I'm sure
I'm not saying that AV2/H.266 would make Youtube worse.
I'm implying AV2/H.266 would allow us to migrate to a platform other than Youtube.
Edit: Added AV2 to my comment
Why do we need h.266 for that? (Looking at PeerTube)
Why would that be? If h265 is anything to go by, MPEG will probably charge an arm and a leg for h266, and the entire industry will pivot away from MPEG and move to AV2. I'm not even sure YouTube will ever implement h266
I had completly forgotten about AV2, my bad.
