If I understand it right.. it will be much more costly to host videocentric platform than other types of content. A serious proposal for sharing the burden of hosting will likely be vital - through funding or decentralized storage/processing. Havent heard about that yet.

The very first Youtube video is still up. Any serious competitor is going to need to offer that level of reliability with added benefits to woo users over.

Loops isn't competing with youtube. I doubt you would be able to find the first tiktok.
