I wonder if the backend of IGTV is the same as the one that powers Facebook inline video content? Either the same technology, or the same infrastructure... I also can't shift the feeling that IGTV is designed to pull 'influencers' away from YouTube.

At this point Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are just different front-ends to the same services behind it. They all use Facebook servers and technology.

  Do you work at Facebook?

    No, you can tell by the design and the servers they use.

I wonder if it’s less having to pull them and more providing the raft so they can jump. Youtubers rarely have good things to say about the platform anymore.

  YouTubers talk even more shit about Facebook. You can find basically every semi popular YouTube video on Facebook. Some even have more views on Facebook than they do on YouTube. Instagram will have the same problem very soon and will turn just as shitty as YouTube.
