the first case however, i would say is customer error mostly, since they continue to visit the bad service regardless
the second case, however is not error on customer or on business owner, but because the guy with the big store has the ability to offer his service at an absolute loss, and still be an utter dick to his customers, the other person can't compete
That's literally what I said
Customer is king, this is always true, and it describes how demand works
Make youtube then
You're literally complaining that you're not good enough to produce something that is in greater demand
People are making alternatives to Youtube, they just haven't taken off yet because they're shit
If i made a copy of youtube, that offered ads to everyone, that explained every copyright strike, that was responsive and transparent to the people who uploaded, i'd still be dead within a year because i couldn't operate under the ENORMOUS loss that youtube sustains
Well then you're still offering a bad service, because if you lose money because of your bad service that simply means that you're not in demand
pardon....
It doesn't matter how much you think your service is worth, the customer decides
you do realize youtube operates at a loss because of the infastructure... right?
But then that's not what happened in regards to IBM because they were out shone by the other competitors in the 80's and 90's . They couldn't keep up and tried to use some nasty tactics. However , you tube are compelled by the consumers themselves and do not prevent poetic license.
Youtube may just be operating at a loss either way, maybe it's just not something that can turn a profit
If i offer the theoretical best service and we'll say EVERYONE switches from youtube to me, i'll still be dead within a year because of the operating costs
So the answer is don't enter an unprofitable market
@Holo I know this but, it depends on how they will look at the long term pursuits . At the moment their TV series are breaking the mold.
if it's unprofitable, shouldn't the question be 'why' and not just accepting that?
Who cares if your product is the best on the market if no one wants it enough so you operate at a loss, it's the same end result, and your competitors are not the reason why you fail
This is why they have started to charge for it with premium membership.
Netflix streaming is almost there though.
i'm not entirely sure ET is understanding my point here
But not for personal gratification. <:UwUzalu:583698818642608138>
I do get your point, but you don't understand how supply & demand works
Any large corporation with enough subsidiaries will be able to eat any loss from a poorly run industry, meaning that the barrier for entry is exorbitantly high
You're still arguing the wrong way
btw the only youtube competitor i've heard of is DLive and that's still a tiny service that i don't like tbh
If demand for your product is not high enough, you don't make a profit either way
It doesn't matter if there are any competitors or not, it doesn't matter what policy they have on the product
hold on there champ```How many YouTube accounts are there 2019?
Facts and Numbers
The total number of people who use YouTube – 1,300,000,000. 300 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute! Almost 5 billion videos are watched on Youtube every single day. In an average month, 8 out of 10 18-49 year-olds watch YouTube.```
Youtube **operates at a loss**
I KNOW
then stop using demand as an excuse to hide behind
it's not demand
No I won't stop using it, because it's the correct argument
So youtube doesn't make money, why then. please explain that to me, they had youtube red, that failed miserably, they had youtube shows which also failed, yet they have about 1/7th of the world population registered on their site
Youtube is operating at a loss with their service = it's not in demand
"I think I should create an alternative to Youtube, even though Youtube itself is not in demand" => Fool, bad businessman
I'm done, that is by far the most retarded twisting i've ever seen of the facts
It's not
You just don't like the fact that Youtube (or Google) is a monopoly
It's not possible to create an alternative to Youtube, NOT because Youtube is a monopoly, but because the product is not in demand
