As soon as AV2/H.266 becomes standard, i'd say Youtube would be at risk.

Edit: Added AV2 to my comment.

How would that make youtube worse?

They'll find a way, I'm sure

I'm not saying that AV2/H.266 would make Youtube worse.

I'm implying AV2/H.266 would allow us to migrate to a platform other than Youtube.

Why do we need h.266 for that? (Looking at PeerTube)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why would that be? If h265 is anything to go by, MPEG will probably charge an arm and a leg for h266, and the entire industry will pivot away from MPEG and move to AV2. I'm not even sure YouTube will ever implement h266
