While I disagree that it is so clear cut--I think some queries do work a lot better on YouTube directly--is this even bad? Isn't the user better off using a general search engine--one that is capable of finding videos anywhere, even if they aren't on YouTube--than using one specifically designed to search within the walls of a single garden? Shouldn't we hope that YouTube takes this as a sign to simply remove their search feature entirely, rather than a sign to double-down on the "lost opportunity" of ensnaring users into full captivity?
