      As soon as AV2/H.266 becomes standard, i’d say Youtube would be at risk.

          I’m not saying that AV2/H.266 would make Youtube worse.

          I’m implying AV2/H.266 would allow us to migrate to a platform other than Youtube.

            Why would that be? If h265 is anything to go by, MPEG will probably charge an arm and a leg for h266, and the entire industry will pivot away from MPEG and move to AV2. I’m not even sure YouTube will ever implement h266

      Wikipedia incorporates pay-to-win mechanics, lootboxes, microtransactions and cosmetics. There will also be a convoluted crafting system with decaying materials and several incompatible currencies for every purpose imaginable.
