Every western alternative to YT failed so far and things like p2p are obviously not anywhere near viable.
If there is ever a non-western alternative like Tiktok, well its obvious it wont be allowed. So realy there is very little reason to be optimistic about this.
If YT dies it will be because people moved on to some other entertainment form, maybe VR will be the big thing in 2060 and people will laugh at us idiots wasting time watching "non interactive media" just like we laugh at newspapers and radio. Maybe the "AI" nonsense will actualy deliver something remotely useful for making videos on-demand or something, though that is just cringe and silly it may happen...
So unless that is where we're heading I think sadly YT will be here to stay for at least a another 10-20 years.
To be honest in the medium-long term I'd bet on climate change making energy prohibitive and therefore killing most of current social media server capacity than anything else.
Always remembering the Venezuelan stolen gold. We tend to overestimate legitimacy. They never had any, or perhaps they already lost it some time ago. It was only the fact global south countries hoped they wouldn't be the next one in line and without any alternatives everyone is forced to accept the system as is.
Not video format but there is a regular current news post on NakedCapitalism, here
Its narrow in scope of economics/politics/climate/COVID etc
Liberal shit statement anyway, "country together"? A solid 1/3 if not half the country are straight up fascists or at very best anti-communists that simply can't be dealt with except forceful re-education, you need to get away from and destroy your enemies not get "closer" with them.
All of this talk is already 1 or even 2 years obsolete. While people were arguing about soft vs hard landing shit the stock market rallied to all time highs, they created an entirely new AI/Tech bubble and everything now hinges on whether or not that bubble will crash.
Bad data about the real economy, if and when it comes at all will be completely irrelevant to the mainstream economic analysis going forward.
That was not my intention? A put contract is a sell option i.e you bet it to go down like it most obviously will.
But sure my bad, thanks for the shitty snarky comment.
NATO will likely invade western Ukraine, "they'll welcome us as liberators" shit claiming a couple of towns around Lvov is the "real Ukraine" and never admit defeat.
I think they believe the Battle of Britain was their own achievement rather than the absolutely delusional Nazi plan and regular incompetence.
Nothing realy, just look at all the nuclear close calls we had in history, you could even say the fact we reached this far is the good timeline lol.
