It seems like youtube is ripe to be disrupted by someone. Video hosting isn't as hard as it once was, ads are invasive, and yt is just the middleman not the content creators.


Video hosting is extremely expensive. Look at the pricing of anyone who provides such base services (https://www.cloudflare.com/en-in/products/cloudflare-stream/) or alternate providers like Vimeo (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28547578).


Live streaming is very different than recorded video - but yes its relatively expensive.

But that is very different from early youtube days where there basically wasn't off the shelf solution. That is a huge difference.


Cloudflare Stream is both recorded and live streaming. Live streaming was actually added somewhat recently.
