Someone can't "disrupt youtube" until costs come down to the point that Google's search/ad cash cow isn't subsidizing YouTube anymore.

At some point, hosting video yourself on an aws instance will be feasible. Until then, we're probably stuck with YouTube.



The fact that you keep saying "you can't" is why you're not creating a startup to do exactly that.
