no one wants to pay for content and its freaking expensive
on the scale that yt does it
we all know youtube promotes stuff that doesn't necessarily get the best views. i mean, look at pewds videos. all getting between 3 and 4 million views. within the first day or so. meanwhile kimmel gets a like 100k after weeks.
it's going to take a while for the costs to come down to a level and mindshare is at a place where a competitor can come into play
i just looked at Fallon, Kimmel, and Colbert. You need to combine all 3 of their most viewed videos after a couple of weeks, to equal 1 pewd video after less than 24 hours
pewdiepie is the 6th most viewed channel. only after things like WWE (how they are on youtube still, god knows) Ryan ToysReview, and SET India.
lol i went on the trending page and i have no idea who any of nearly these people are
or it's sponsored content, doctor who, fox sports etc
youtube is trying to destroy itself
but my point is, in influx of that many people to a youtube alternative, and if that alternative has found a way to be profitable, youtube will die quickly.
now, profitable is the hard part
youtube is trying to become a TV replacement
wrong strategy imo
they want muneyz, tv companies pay them for it
I heard someone say that there are a bunch of companies just waiting for YT to fail, and when that happens there will be many platforms similar to YT
For example Pornhub is making something called the hub
When trump's intelligence agency claims he colluded with russia, then dems aaky why trump trust putin more than his intelligence
More a testament of how little Trump trusts intelligence agency vs how much he trusts Putin
, @ExceptionalFeather IGTV is coming up
It'll be serious competition
not sure Facebook will do much of a better job than yt
but to be fair it is more that instagram division is running it like YT runs itself though still owned by a parent company
Certainly competition existing alone makes a huge difference though.
I imagine part of why new platforms haven't had the chance to come in yet, because when they do and YT loses some customers, they will straightenn themselves out and bring most of those people back
TV is dead. One to many is dead, many to many is future.
TV on TV is dead,
TV online is muchos alive-o
Other than sports, very few things need to be "broadcast"
It's not really dead
Traditional broadcast television is dead
Yup
Legacy TV is dead
One to many is dead
Many to many is future
Meaning streams etc
Even if 10 people are watching the same show at same time, they might be in different time of the show.
I dunno about that
I mean, Game of Thrones and various other TV shows are still very popular
It's just taht the old TV medium itself is dead
Or dieing a slow death
You're not getting my point
