It seems like one subset of use of youtube is as a de facto archive. I feel like an audio/video archive is a valuable thing that shouldn't be beholden to the capricious desires of a corporation nor subject audiences (patrons) to advertisements and algorithmic manipulation.
But youtube's revenue sharing (I assume), promotional possibilities (i.e. the algorithm), and network effect seems to keep people uploading videos there.
