I think most of the time when I'm searching for a video, my starting point is on YouTube itself, not Google. So in the case of a competitor, the site itself would be my search engine. Your point is still valid though.
- Abishek_Muthian 6y agoFair point, but Google displays videos at the top of the search results even when you are not searching for videos explicitly and those videos are from YouTube. There are enough stats to say, a layman would click a video over an article to read.
- dathinab 6y agoThrough in my experience this videos are rarely what I'm looking for.
- ck425 6y agoTbh even when I search on Google I normally avoid non YouTube links. Other than Vimeo I find they either don't work or have 30s ads
- cblades 6y agoGoogle will display videos from other sources both at the top of the web search and in the videos search.
