There's a reason why they are the only ones. It's very hard to scale a platform to YouTube scale. Like insanely hard and very expensive. The only other players that could take over are Meta and maybe Microsoft. Not sure if they would be any better.

I've been thinking that pornhub might make a good competition if they made a safe for work version.

You hear that Texas?

There's others that are at that scale. Amazon, Valve, battle.net, Netflix, pornhub, CloudFlare, to name a few.
