Some new questions!
I know something similar might have been asked before, but how is Youtube without Google ITTL? Did the tagline 'Broadcast Yourself' still get removed? Is the like/dislike bar green and red? Did they still get rid of the Rate option? Did they keep old channel banner backgrounds? TL;DR, if I were to go onto TTL's Youtube, what would the layout look like? Would it resemble more of OTL's 'Old Youtube' or 'New Youtube'?
What is the state of
Post-Modernism? How is
Remodernism ITTL?
What happened to Blockbuster and Netflix ITTL?
How is Joaquin Phoenix?
It would likely resemble OTL's Old Youtube, but a little slicker in appearance. Also, probably havng a mode to have MySpace colors. It would definitely resemble the Youtube of the late 2000s and early 2010s though obviously polished and so on. Dislike/Like bar might remain or be replaced with something. I do see some influnce from MySpace designwise being on there. "Broadcast Yourself" would probably remain as a tagline. As for Ratings... they might tweak that.
Overall, Youtube would resemble more like old Youtube than what we have now. As for content, they may still use the older model of higher view counts over video length time or perhaps figure out a way to combine the two. They would still likely focus more on original content than in OTL, so alot like the older days, especially because it's nurtured and maintained through the synergy with ArtistShare and MySpace and later OpenFilm. Alot of the older creators who's heyday were in the late 2000s and early 2010s (like RWJ w/ Equals 3, Epic Meal Time and various others), may maintain stronger followings because they maintain a longer steady pace rather than what happened in OTL. It would all depend on them though and it's likely we'd still see the rise of Let's Players, Countdowners and many others sharing the space with them.
Other sites would fill niches, such as Veoh looking more like "New Youtube" and catering more to those more familiar in Hollywood or television while Newgrounds would definitely take cues from ArtistShare and Youtube's model and create their own revenue service on that rather than rely on ads so they could remain more relevant in the long run.
Post-modernism as a philosophical movement is likely finally beginning to wane by this point, namely as things get better and the jokes of shitting on everything get old. Absurd humor and so on remain and grow in popularity, but post-modernism is waning rather than spinning into post-truth like OTL. Remodernism is probably rising as a movement gradually, especially as it catches on.
Netflix likely rises like OTL, though the differing atmosphere means that the race to make streaming like cable possibly doesn't happen. A Sanders administration would be rough on larger companies and the shady practices of cable companies would get them screwed as access to efficient and quality internet increases across the nation. A larger and stronger indie scene will weather the storm of big media, especially with an earlier MeToo. The idea of making quality work, earnest communication about it and paying for it has a stronger foothold in the subconscious, especially the youth.
Blockbuster... not sure if I mentioned them here yet. I think they'd likely still suffer similar problems because of their lack of innovations. They might hop on the bandwagon faster with Youtube's greater rise and the earlier emphasis on the net, but it'd still be the similar-minded business folk who thought it would always be like the 90s or 2000s. They may likely still be doomed by their short-sightedness.
Joaquin Phoneix I imagine would still do pretty well though we obviously wouldn't have a
Joker movie for him.
