    There’s no shot youtube will be dethroned any time too. Hosting that amount of video is absurdly expensive.

        It’s not even close. Text and image content doesn’t come near what YouTube has to deal with.

        Reddit does have video, lemmy (at least for now) doesn’t, and I’m sure a huge part of that is cost.

        Eh, lemmy -> reddit is not without scaling issues, but reddit doesn’t upload 10s of terabytes of video every day, much smaller infrastructure required than youtube.
