Youtube seems to be one of the more egregious parts of the Google ecosystem.
Like sure Gmail has its problems, but ultimately it is an excellent web based email system that's hard to beat because it's a great product.
Youtube's main strength seems to be primarily its first mover advantage, and the fact that building a video hosting site is a rather costly venture.
Neither of those are a very defensive moat against competitors like Amazon and Facebook
- holydude 9y agoI do not think gmail is an excellent product. For me it's backed by a giant that guarantees its availability and functionality almost anywhere in the world (looking at you China). I would use something else in a blink of an eye.
