I only use youtube, I would risk and say 90%+ of people are also there

2018-05-24 15:41:16 UTC  

true, but its never a good idea to only have 1 site

2018-05-24 15:41:18 UTC  

anything outside of youtube is irrelevant

it doesn't matter if 90% of the traffic comes from one site. because if that site changes, that 90% could go away. if you have a back up, then you stand a good chance to get back that lost crowd

2018-05-24 15:42:13 UTC  

that is the problem this is aiming at

2018-05-24 15:42:54 UTC  

there's no platform that will be able to compete with youtube in the near future

2018-05-24 15:43:04 UTC  

no matter what tool you make, that won't change

2018-05-24 15:43:19 UTC  

sure it will, if youtube keeps shooting itself in the foot

2018-05-24 15:43:36 UTC  

there will be a rise of aggregators, but not of platforms

2018-05-24 15:44:04 UTC  

if there is no other platforms, then how can there a raise of aggregators?

2018-05-24 15:44:28 UTC  

the video content will still be from YT

2018-05-24 15:44:43 UTC  

@Grenade123 No one can compete with YT, It runs at a massive loss. The only way to take a share of the market would be for Amazon or such like to get involed.

2018-05-24 15:44:45 UTC  

so then the site serves no purpose

2018-05-24 15:45:13 UTC  

you make a site that tells people to go to youtube

2018-05-24 15:45:15 UTC  

why

2018-05-24 15:45:23 UTC  

>aggregator

2018-05-24 15:45:30 UTC  

to FIND what they want to watch

2018-05-24 15:45:42 UTC  

because YT is shitting on it's own platform on that matter

2018-05-24 15:45:45 UTC  

which means that youtube sucks doing that

2018-05-24 15:45:54 UTC  

which means there is room in the market to provide a better method

2018-05-24 15:46:03 UTC  

of aggregation yes

2018-05-24 15:46:07 UTC  

of another platform, no

2018-05-24 15:46:13 UTC  

why not?

2018-05-24 15:46:31 UTC  

@Poppy Rider said it. Because you will be burning money for a decade

2018-05-24 15:46:34 UTC  

here is a question, if youtube runs at a loss, WHY do they have?

2018-05-24 15:46:41 UTC  

monopoly

2018-05-24 15:46:46 UTC  

on lost money?

2018-05-24 15:46:49 UTC  

just like Uber

2018-05-24 15:46:53 UTC  

just like Facebook

2018-05-24 15:46:56 UTC  

just like Twitter

2018-05-24 15:47:00 UTC  

this is nothing new

2018-05-24 15:47:11 UTC  

Tesla too

2018-05-24 15:47:32 UTC  

Facebook only started to make money _AFTER_ the IPO

2018-05-24 15:47:33 UTC  

you just listed successful companies, (maybe minus tesla), then cited a failing company as being the same

2018-05-24 15:47:43 UTC  

oh, you mean it just takes too long to start making money

2018-05-24 15:47:48 UTC  

yup

2018-05-24 15:47:55 UTC  

okay, new question. how did youtube start in the first place

2018-05-24 15:47:57 UTC  

Uber still operates on a loss

2018-05-24 15:48:03 UTC  

google didn;t always own it

2018-05-24 15:48:19 UTC  

you need to look into that
