Because of the network effect, he’d have to spend billions to get enough infrastructure for his streaming service to be able to compete with YouTube and Twitch. Because people go where the content is, so a majority of content creators would have to start using it, rather than just himself.
Until that, it’s like Epic Games Store. They keep giving away free games and STILL nobody wants to go there because all their games are already on Steam. Doesn’t help that their launcher is shit too, but even if it wasn’t, most people wouldn’t move over.

I was not at all suggesting that he enter the business of livestreaming…

“Where the content is” is owned by one of the richest tech billionaires in the world. One who is responsible for the destruction of more small businesses than anyone on the planet. One who bribed the President on several occasions, including with the ballroom, and with a $28M check. And I’m sure many other avenues.
As long as we continue going “where the content is” and refusing to go anywhere else, that’s where it will remain in perpetuity. Someone has to have the influence and the courage to make the content be somewhere else.

That’s not why at all. That’s because their platform sucks ass.
What he is going to do and what he could do are 2 different discussions.
Again, he certainly could, very easily.
