If youtube suddenly stopped supporting user content we would see youtube shutdown like google+.
There are enough places for studios to provide content and many more streaming options coming your way shortly.
Now if youtube decided to copy netflix and started pouring in billions for new self produced content yearly that might be an option.
- moate 7y agoSo you're telling me that youtube premium isn't a diversity play on youtube's part? They're copying netflix right now, making "youtube original shows" as well. They're absolutely adding other content sources to their platform beyond "kid self publishing a vlog in their home" style material they started with all those years ago. It's not the majority of their page views yet, but when Netflix first launched people were mostly using them to rent physical DVDs, so we'll see how this plays out long term. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_original_programs_distributed_by_YouTube_Premium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_original_programs_dist...
