wont be feasible for much longer. The belief that your unique content and a subscriber bsse that will stand the test of time is what Youtube tell themselves too, in a flustered panic.
Plan for transferring to another platform.
I think that you and I are using YouTube for different reasons.
If you use YouTube exclusively for entertainment and produce videos purely for entertainment then I can understand the frustration when you see other users getting away with monetising videos that are in clear violation of copyright. If as you say some of these are reported and no action is taken, then something is very wrong.
If on the other hand you use YouTube as a search engine and produce videos that are designed to educate and inform the viewers, then unique, quality content will always win out.
No matter how many videos of Family Guy, Judge Judy, or Dr Phil are abusively posted on YouTube... the person who is searching for information about the new Audi A4, or wants a recipe for vegetable lasagna, or needs to know how to fit a new toilet seat, will always be able to find the answer to his questions on YouTube. It is without a doubt the greatest video-based search engine on the planet.
I think it will be a very very long time before a platform of this kind can be replaced. Far better to stick with it in the confidence that it is gradually improving.
