They have approximately now lost over 5000 subscribers which equates to about $25000 per month or $300000 per year in lost revenue.

It's not likely to ever happen. The business model just isn't sustainable by itself. The costs are through the roof, and ads don't pay enough to pay for it and pay creators. Any competitor would be far more restricted on who and what can be uploaded.

    Definitely, I don't see another platform popping up where anyone can upload basically unlimited amounts of anything. It's kinda insane that Google even allows that still haha

    But Floatplane is at least a high-quality platform that sufficiently supports creators without ads (subscription instead)
