I cannot tell you how many times I've seen a video I wanted to watch on Youtube and had it disappear on reloading the page/clicking another video and going back. Even opening in another tab doesn't work sometimes? (It registers a regular click rather than ctrl-click and loads the link normally rather than in a new tab.) Don't get me started on the way it takes control of your keyboard input on video pages in completely unintuitive way. Will the right arrow track forward or raise the volume? Depends on YT's mood, I guess.
It survives solely on network effect. I can't wait for a competitor, and several are waiting in the wing.
