I'm going to give you guys a billion dollar idea right now. I have no idea how someone hasn't made and marketed it like crazy.

Create a program called "Notifier". Content creators will have a notifier account, and they will make a post on Notifier when they release content. There will be a link to the content, so it could be on any platform. This way people can get subscribe to and get notifications about the content that people are making regardless of which platform they are releasing it on, without needing a Google account, and it will be just as convenient as YouTube notifications. Except that it won't be a Google monopoly.

You can also make it so that content creators can have different groups that they put content out on. This will ensure that people who follow a content creator for their content don't get Facebook style content where they post stupid shit about how their family went to Home Depot or personal blog type nonsense that they never cared about. And the people who do care about that stuff can be notified about it by choosing to subscribe to that person's blog style content specifically.

It really blows my mind that something like this hasn't been created, and isn't being promoted like crazy with a huge marketing budget. Once you got people on to this, it would destroy monopolies and make it so that smaller sites could compete with Google, Facebook, Instagram, etc. Because people would just be clicking a link that takes them to Rumble, or MAGAvideo or wherever, instead of clicking a link that takes you only to YouTube, or only to Facebook, etc. And they wouldn't need multiple accounts for multiple different websites.

I wasn't made because mostly the monopoly worked for people . People weren't looking for alternatives.

But I feel like this wouldn't even be hard to make, and there's definitely many people who use alternative sites, so it would be worth it just for the people who follow them. That's enough people on its own.

"Back in the day" there were programs that you could use like that. Even now you can use RSS ... something GREAT but made irelevant by masses of imbeciles that flooded the internet ... and you ca add that RSS feed of a Youtube chanel for example to your simple rss reader and VOILA you have the service you want.

but like i said ... people were "happy" with what youtube offered so the "alternatives" were slowly abandoned.
