It wont be, the scale of service and ease of revenue sharing will keep it as the king of video distribution untill Google kills it (like they do to all their products). FOSS projects and self hosting can not accomodate a viral hit (the slashdot effect), and also a self-hosted project like that would have to find a way to make money for the host to keep the lights on, and even Youtube fails at that one.
Could just make a system to automate the ads like muting(or white noise) them and automatically clicking skip, is not as good but still feels like a small win
The funniest part is they want to watch an ad (trailer) but they aren’t allowed to watch that ad without watching other ads first! Xzibit would be so proud.
If things keep going like this I guess I’ll abandon Youtube completely. How brighter my life will be
That’s where things are heading. I wonder what video services will replace it.

Skipping ads violates YouTube’s terms of service!
Video playback will be blocked until you allow us to shove ads down your throat.
You can also opt for YouTube premium, where we’ll allow you to skip the last 5 seconds of any ad! (*)
(*) ads shorter than 5 minutes do not support skipping the final 5 seconds.
