Careful with this line of thinking. Youtube got to having massive players by moving up market from indie videos. The main thing blocking a competetor from following the same path is that Youtube still dominates in the indie sector as well. If they damage themselves in that market enough to give a competetor a foothold, then they lose that moat; and their competetor can follow the same up market path that Youtube took.
- jrobn 8y agoI think there is a chance a competitor could pop up and hurt YouTube. They would need to have a ContentID like system, monetization, and a non sucky copyright system that isn’t gamable, and of course infastructure. Very tall orders but could be done with a talented team. YouTube has it exists today are out right abusing their indie people. Shuttering channgles, demonitizing channels with very little feedback. A could case in point would be Max Yurev. He has a great photograpy channel and they demonistized him for months until he recieved some weird fwd email that said re-monitize him its becoming a “PR problem”. They have zero accountability.
