the video content will still be from YT

@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.

so then the site serves no purpose

you make a site that tells people to go to youtube

why

>aggregator

to FIND what they want to watch

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

which means that youtube sucks doing that

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

of aggregation yes

of another platform, no

why not?

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

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

monopoly

on lost money?

just like Uber

just like Facebook

just like Twitter

this is nothing new

Tesla too

Facebook only started to make money _AFTER_ the IPO

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

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

yup

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

Uber still operates on a loss

google didn;t always own it

you need to look into that

because users == money

so they get investors

but never make any profit

until the endgame

the investors foot the bill

you have no idea of the costs of video content. Hell, even if you wanted to host JUST _your_ videos, it costs a LOT

I don't think YT can make money, ever. And be completely free. Far to much server space. The reason Google keeps YT is for the collection of data. It is a gold mine for any AI project. If you get something for free your are the product.

why does it cost money? what is the overhead? server space, and a webface, right?

Google would keep YT even if it didn't make money ever, because it makes money on their other products

and the people to maintain that

traffic costs alone are huge
