I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon.

Another issue with YouTube is that media, especially video is vastly more resource demanding than anything mostly text based.

With something like Twitter or Reddit (as long as you don't directly host all media) the quality and importance of each post relative to it's resources needed don't really matter that much.

Especially with high bitrate video footage on the other hand it does matter. So having a drive for profit somewhere in the chain does in someway help shape the system to be viable financially.
