Along with an audience who a different motivation and expectation around content consumption. Just as with the fediverse.

And, we would be better served doing away with the idea of replacing platforms like YouTube and rather providing bespoke alternatives. We'll succeed when we stop trying to replace Tesco with Walmart. Which can be difficult, currently, when many users have probably only experienced living in a town where all your shopping is done there and never known a thriving downtown of small businesses.
