There will never be a real competitor to YouTube, because nobody else is willing to run at a net loss for a decade before seeing their first profitable quarter, like Google did with YouTube.
Turns out, free video hosting is expensive as fuck.

The "I'm sick of Elon posts" comments are more annoying than all the Elon posts.

Unfortunately, those are the options most Americans have. Either pay more than you can afford to fix it or let it kill you.
Dang, that's a bummer. I never really used it because the novelty of it ran out pretty quick for me, but it's always disappointing seeing such a staple of the internet disappear like that.
So is just about every single social platform on the internet.
I bet that investment doesn’t even begin to shield U.S. electrical systems from a potentially catastrophic Carrington event.
Why invest in anything if it won't survive the inevitable heat death of the universe, while we're at it?
Basically anyone who knows your Gmail address can spam you with these requests. It's awful because I so rarely get Drive share requests, so I keep notifications on because if somebody actually needs to send me a legitimate file, I'd want to be alerted to it. And there doesn't appear to be much in the way of spam detection on this system.
Though that might have changed recently. I used to get these very frequently, but I don't think I've seen one for probably a year now. Maybe they finally started detecting spammy share requests? Or maybe I've just been lucky for a minute.
Will their bodies accept a transplant from another situs inversus patient?
I believe so.
How does the body know which way an organ is oriented?
My understanding is that it has more to do with just getting the pieces to fit together properly. I imagine that some organs are more compatible than others based on their shape. But making sure that there's no "kinks in the hose", so to say, is the important part, as it'd be necessary to ensure that the connecting parts aren't having to be wrapped around in an unnatural way in order for things to fit and stay connected without injury.
However I'll admit that I'm not super well-versed in this. I only know a few bits about the condition after some curious Googling when I played a Hitman mission where one of your targets is a situs inversus patient (and you can optionally "kill" him by destroying a particularly rare right-sided donor heart while he's being prepped for transplant surgery). I thought it was a made-up medical condition for the sake of the game's plot, but was surprised to find out that it's an actual thing in real life.
Typically, no, from my understanding. While the organs are reversed (both in position and shape), they're generally still functional like normal organs, and the patient may not suffer any adverse reactions to the condition whatsoever.
However, a major issue can stem from the need of any sort of organ transplant. If a situs inversus patient needs something like a new heart, their bodies won't accept a normal transplant. And with this being such a rare condition, it's nearly impossible to find a viable donor in most scenarios. So a problem like liver failure, which while dangerous is still often treatable via transplant, it's almost always fatal to somebody with situs inversus, unless it can be treated without transplanting.
If PeerTube can fix their major discoverability issues, it can potentially pose a real threat to YouTube. But that's the biggest thing keeping it back right now, is that it's impossible to just find anything you want to watch.
Unless you want to watch hour-long seminars on Linux. In which case, PeerTube's got you covered.
