lemme add
youtube
-won a court case against one of the most notorious copyright law abusers in the world
-channels had html compatibility which allowed for easy customisability
-had features and community events that made it feel more like just another video congregate
-only removed features when people were open about how disliked they were
-acted as a way for up-and coming creators to have their creations seen by thousands and potentially get an industry position
newtube
-sucks up to every multimedia conglomerate even when they're clearly just trying to monopolise
-customisation has been stripped down to a mere banner and icon
-removes features for seemingly no reason other than minimalism or appeasing the big guys
-is the only video site around
-so easily expoitable by LA crypto investors and indian nursery rhyme channels that it's basically become a get rich quick scheme

we all fondly remember when the "you" on Youtube was real and the biggest appeal of the site
