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

Same is true about Reddit but we all here

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.

In saying we are here I’m not saying we are succeeding…I’m saying we’re trying

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.
