What's in it for YouTube in this? It operates quite profitably without using blockchain to track ownership of videos and copyrights and who to send ad money to

I was just making an example that like an YT video, an NFT has value for content creators and can be the future of internet

Couldn't care less what happens to YouTube, hope something better comes along

The trend with this blockchain technologies is that single companies will have less power and control so they probably won't like it much, or will look for workarounds

But whatever happens for web3 probably most will have to adopt or stay behind

But that is the key question. Why would something else come along? You need backend resources for transcoding and serving. You need a search system. You need an ad system. And if you get big you need a copyright management system.
